I can't believe someone makes.... USB construction sites

usb construction site.jpgThe planet is dying, we need to conserve resources. We need to go green, and reuse and recycle. Not waste precious electricity powering pointless diversions. I can't believe someone makes a USB-pwered construction site model set....

Though, you could possibly reuse the bollards as Christmas fairy lights. And it might amuse a child, for five seconds...

USB syringe.jpgWhat next? A USB road repair gang? Actually, USB-powered noveties are an obvious rich-source for the pointless accessory. Okay, flash drives serve a useful purpose, but who could possibly want a Resident Evil 5 Chainsaw USB drive? Or a syringe flash drive?

(The same people can bring you USB Jewel Watch Necklace flash drives, Chocolate Bar drives, and USB Gold Bar drives, incidentally.)

There are a plethora of "comedy" USB sticks currently on the market-I don't really see the appeal myself, to be honest.

I sawe a REALLY strange one the other day. It was a USB stick in the shape of....a USB stick!!

Who'd have thought it, eh?

>> It was a USB stick in the shape of....a USB stick!!

I know what you mean, Dave. I think they must be "ironic", "Web 2.0" versions :-)

"The planet is dying, we need to conserve resources. We need to go green, and reuse and recycle. Not waste precious electricity powering pointless diversions." I totally agree with this. Do something useful for our planet!
