What is funnier? This USB Necktie Cooler or the translation of the original Japanese website by Altavista’s Babelfish? Who doesn’t love some Engrish (that is of course only if you’re not flipping through a manual looking to get your gadgets going)

I’m sitting in my office / studio here in Los Angeles and let me tell you, it’s really hot these days. Luckily I work for myself so I don’t have to wear a tie but if I’d have to, I think I’d give this a try. Even if it were just for the looks of my co-workers.

Put on the tie (made out of silicon, so I assume it doesn’t feel like a kids plastic tie around your neck), plug it in the USB port of your computer and hear the fan buzz away.

I’m not entirely sure how this tie is supposed to cool you down (wouldn’t the integrated fan blow the air just straight against the shirt?), but maybe one of you can explain by analyzing this image.
