Kilt-wearers targeted by calf implant inventor
A German lederhosen seller who sells calf implants to make his customers' legs look more manly is planning to branch out to Scotland.

Herbert Lipah says he has had massive interest from Scottish kilt wearers since his implants, which are worn inside socks, were featured in a British newspaper.
He said: "All of a sudden I started getting Scottish customers on the phone and have been getting faxed requests for orders.
"Apparently kilt wearers and lederhosen wearers both worry about how their legs will look in the traditional gear, and padding allows a whole new bunch of people to embrace the clothing of their ancestors without embarrassing remarks like 'squirrel legs' and 'stick insect'.
"The chance to wear lederhosen is the right of every German man, and in Scotland the right to wear the kilt is the right of every Scot."
Mr Lipah, 55, now plans to have the implants, which come in various sizes from small to extra large, patented worldwide.
He added: "It's impossible to tell the difference. It looks just like a well developed, muscular leg should be and is totally seamless." Yes... that's because there's nothing more manly than a male in a skirt... uh, er... tartan.
