USB-Powered Necktie Coolers for Nerds, Courtesy of Thanko

Japanese gadget maker Thanko just released a USB-powered necktie cooler designed to provide relief to office employees who take a lot of heat from the ol’ boss.

The Thanko USB Necktie Cooler 3 was just released in late June as some sort of upgrade to the USB Necktie Cooler 2 (2008), though critics haven’t been able to find one single difference between the two. I suppose that maybe perhaps the tie design was updated?

Regardless, the dweeb device features an integrated plastic fan in the tie’s knot. And oh, if you haven’t already guessed, it’s a clip-on tie. Attached to the tie is a 135cm long cord with a USB plug at the end. You merely plug it into a USB socket and walla, you’re cool, though technically you’re anything but cool!

If you’re really daring, you can opt for a separately purchased battery pack with four AAA batteries. This means you can tug the necktie around with you to hot places—like a library, a university classroom or even a Star Trek convention.

It’s currently available to only the Japanese, but it’s slated for an American release through JapanTrends sometime in the near future. The expected cost? About $75.

Thank You Thanko for making the lives of the Office characters (especially Jim and Pam) easier!

Size and Shine! In China, they have created a new mask that will help keep your chest shiny and soft. The new breast masks are made of Collagen, Butea Superba, elastin collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, purified water, etc. which means a couple of more things that they didn’t wish to mention. The transparent crystal mask will gradually dissolve and get fully absorbed under body temperature giving you breast as soft as baby butts and as shiny as crystals.
