What's dangerous and swings from trees?

1) An IT engineer, with a USB chainsaw! 2) A help desk monkey, with a USB chainsaw! 3) A telemarketer that has been rudely spoken to, with a USB chainsaw!

Wow, 8lbs, 10" bar, but no mention of motor power, or how much current it draws from the USB port :-)

I assume it's a spoof. It can't be any more stupid than USB fans, etc. I recall once seeing a usb powered coffee hotplate. No sillier than a

12V computer power supply powered cigarette lighter.

Umm, punctuation? I personally don't know any telemarketer that would threaten anything if I had a USB chainsaw.

umm2, are they still a telemarketer if they are standing in your presence?

Say a 1/2HP motor should be okay from a USB part, given a suitably low duty cycle (maybe 10 minutes of blood-spattering mayhem per day).

But why would you want to charge it from a USB port rather than a plug-pack?

But how often do you use it to cut down miniature plastic trees?

But why I would want to add to the load on my computer power supply rather than just use a plug-pack charger still escapes me???? (even assuming I ever had a use for such crap)

The only thing worse than morons with too much money to waste, is the morons creating more useless products for them to buy, IMO.

Um - it is (presumably) a spoof 'product'.

Nope. The worst thing are clowns like you who can't recognize a spoof.

Thanks. But that is not 'recognising a spoof'. That would be 'recognising a non-spoof'. Get your strory straight !
