From CubicleBot… If you commute on a bicycle, especially at night, then proper safety equipment is a must. This retroreflector tie, designed by Jasna Sokolovic and Noel O’Connell, is made with reflective fabrics, so you will be “highly visible” to oncoming cars. However, since you’re supposed to ride with traffic, the only cars that will see this thing will be on the other side of the road. However, I guess you could always swing it around and wear it on your back.

From That’s Nerdalicious!: Displaying your love of sizzling strips of pork belly with this bacon tie will allow you to instantly identify the food preferences of those around you through smiles and/or looks of disgust. However, if you want to keep your lips firmly planted on your boss’ buttcheeks, it’s probably best to find out which way he/she leans before you wear this bad boy to the office.
