Fosfor gadgets has a list of the weirdest USB drives they could find, and some of them are real keepers. No kidding. Take the USB Thumb thumb drive, for instance: It’s creepy and sort of demented to consider having a dismembered thumb stick out of your computer’s USB slot, but heck if it isn’t a surefire way to get attention at the office! (And maybe a hastily-handed pink slip.)

And the thumb is only the beginning: take a gander at the USB sushi drive, the USB dimsum drive, the USB tempura drive…hmm, tempura drive. If the prices only didn’t make you feel like you were ordering the fugu at the local sushi bar, things would be so much livelier up in herr.

While I think it’s great and all, it’s products like these that make me consider the possibility that a good number of engineers and techy-type people out there are bored out of their wits. That or they’re still trying to get over that memory when Father McPatrick-Shaughaunessy-Ingvald-Schmidt made that strange reference to hot-crossed buns and cocktail weiners during that pre-mass session in the confessional.
