We have posted a couple of times about novelty USB drives, but none compares to this.  Finnish software developer Jerry Jalava lost his finger in a motorcycle accident and replaced it with a prosthetic USB drive.

The drive is a removable prosthetic which has a 2GB USB memory stick inside.  When using the drive, Jerry just leaves his finger in the USB slot.  I guess there’s not much risk of it being lost or forgotten – he’s likely to remember pretty fast when he realises one of his ‘fingers’ is missing.

Jerry’s blog is here, in which he details plans to add an RFID tag to the prosthetic.  So should we change the name from thumb drive to finger drive?  Let us know what you think.
