Who knew the world’s heaviest USB drive weighed in at 16-pounds? Find that accessory and more in this strange list. Which one is your favorite?

World’s Heaviest USB Drive

Chris Spurge decided to permanentley “embed” his USB drive to a 16-pound Galaxie 3000 bowling ball in fears of losing it. One caveat: connecting it to a computer.

I can see the new trend now – flash drives stuck into Foreman grills, Karate trophies and old Pintos. The future is a beautiful place. While attaching this device to laptops and PCs within cramped confines probably isn’t desirable, it should definitely keep that precious data out of the washing machine, but we doubt this bad boy lands a strike anytime soon with such an extrusion

It would make a great stocking stuffer for anyone who uses devices that charge via usb. If you are getting it for a person who likes to build their own things, just collect all the parts put them in a ziplock, and put that in the stocking

USB-Powered Vibrating Fingers

This USB-powered gadget supposedly relaxes your muscles, but it looks to be more of a gag gift than functional accessory. It’s available now in Japan, priced at $12.95.

007 USB Flash Drive

For those who demand the ultimate in security, check out the “007 USB Flash Drive”. This device “not only keeps would-be data thieves from getting to the thumb drive, it also will physically lock the drive to an object, such as a desk, via the steel cable.” Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
