  • We have a USB fan that you have to hold because it has no stand and is on a long cable. Not practical if you're sitting at the computer to type unless you have someone standing beside you at all times with fan in hand. #2 has seen a coffee heater - element you stick in the bottom of your coffee to heat it up. Thinkgeek would undoubtedly have more of these silly gadgets.
  • Quiddy.
  • A Jack Russell.
  • I could use that USB eye warmer. I do the Bates method of eye exercises, which involves sitting for five minutes with your palms over your eyes several times a day, to warm the muscles. People tend to think you're crying. Also, the one can fridge is teh awesome.
  • Not practical if you're sitting at the computer to type unless you have someone standing beside you at all times with fan in hand. Doesn't everyone have someone standing beside them at all times with a fan in hand? Unfortunately, mine's not so high-tech. The fan's out of palm leaves, and all he wears is a loin-cloth.
  • I'm surprised this isn't listed. (Warning: Elvis)
  • Here it is Everything from the Humping dog USB to the I-duck. What more could you want? Wooden keyboard, anyone?
  • Some of these aren't new. I've had the Swiss Army USB since 2005. Mine is a 512mb drive though. It's great, really, I used to carry both a small knife and a thumb drive, now I just carry one thing. You'd be surprised how often the tiny scissors and screwdriver blades come in handy.
