Anyone else noticed the proliferation of USB toys going these days? You can get yourself a lava lamp, aquarium, paper shredder, armgeddon device... to such things as drum kits and mini vacuum cleaners for yer keyboard.

Having moved building and having a brand new desk to clutter, I've been in the market for something cool nay utterly uselss to amuse me in times of stress or complete boringess.

What would be your ultimate USB desk toy/tool? No limits to the imagination please :)

I'd like USB transporter pods - one at home and one at work. That would cut down on train fares and give me an extra hour in bed.

Haven't seen these on ThinkGeek or Firebox yet. S'pose I just have to do things the old fashioned way. :(

Skill point for that one - absolute genius and something I had not spotted yet.

Shame I moved to a new open plan office where hot food is a no no. There's a general ban on 'smells' and warm food constitutes a smell. :(

But with the grill, the cup warmer, shaver (for the lads me thinks) and one of those little vacuums for hoovering the crumbs out of your keyboard - why would you ever have to leave your computer again?

If you have seen my previous posts you will know why this one strike fear straight in to my heart:

Not sure about that but I'd say, from the look on his face, his dog is definitely licking his balls under the table.

D'argh! Gonna have that in my head in all day now.

Does look Gormanesque tho. Hey - there's a thought. How about your very own USB Dave Gorman. It can get drunk and get random tattoos. Would have to have a reaaaaallly long cable tho... hmmm. Should have thought about that abit more.

I commend thee! Well done that man.

Hello everyone, my name is TFR and I also am a recovering drunken purchaser.

I tell you though, I win the lottery and I'm gonna go :banana:
