Yes 2006 was a fine year for the technological obsessed. Here’s to 2007, and host more of useless things to fill those neglected USB ports!

I don’t know what to think about this USB drive. Sure, it’s kinda funny to see a dog mercilessly humping one of your USB slots, but if the drive makes as much noise as it seems to in the supplied video, I think I’ll pass.

Maybe I’ll get one as a gift for my friend that enjoys receiving crap from places like Spencer’s. Oh, man, hahaha, he’s just such a wild and crazy guy.

Then by all means hit play.

If you need more there are also part 2 and part 3.

I have this burning urge now to have a robot taste me. But, you know, not in the dirty kind of way you’re probably thinking. Pervs.
