Weird Pen Drives

- The Severed Finger Depending on your sense of humor, the severed finger is either morbidly funny or retch-inducing. -The Dog According to  Gizmodo , the original humping dogs (this is the second version) came with saggy ears and indifferent expressions. Humping Dogs v2 features big smiles and perky ears…and they’re still tasteless. - The Headless Barbie This drive straddles the fine line between funny and tasteless. Funny: You’re tearing the head off a Barbie and sticking her into your computer. Tasteless: You’re tearing the head off a Barbie and sticking her into your computer. -The Rubber Chicken This rubber chicken would be G-rated, save for the conspicuous location of its USB drive. -Mr. Sperm The American Society for Reproductive Medicine handed out these tadpole-shaped drives at its 2008 conference,  according to Gizmodo . Don’t worry, they won’t give your computer any viruses.
