This year’s April fools Thinkgeek.com, a web shop thought for the geeks, released some crazy items which were not to be taken seriously. Sadly, one product was actually wanted by many many persons, the 8-bit tie!
This description alone sells the product, Here it is from the product page:
A few of us monkeys at ThinkGeek had this great shared dream a few months ago. In it, the whole world was 8-Bit, just like the video games we grew up on. We found ourselves having to leap from platform to platform, to search for pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, and to fight scary mutated plants and animals. The music was awesome (and still stuck in our heads) but the coolest part was what we were wearing: a tie. But not just any tie, an 8-Bit tie!
At 20$, it may be not-so cheap, but think of it, you’re going to establish yourself as the geek in the place. Sadly, I don’t wear anything that a tie can go with, but if I were, I would buy one.

YES!! I’m starting my gift list right now. I got the binary ‘Ties Suck’ tie for Christmas a couple of years ago and love it. This would be awesome.

(Ok, the excitement is a bit forced, but I do think this would be a pretty cool gift)
