USB Drive Proves Fertility Conventions Give Out the Best Swag Ever
Posted by Sean Fallon at 6:40 AM on November 13, 2008
Attendees can get some pretty cool swag at big conventions, but I have yet to see a product as functionally hysterical as this sperm-shaped USB drive handed out at the American Society For Reproductive Medicine's (ASRM) 2008 conference. I'll tell you what—whipping this thing out at while using your laptop at Starbucks should prove interesting.
[Thanks Eric!]

Whats its capacity? It have to be at least 2gb for it too out weigh the awkwardness of using it.

I had a Jesus sperm on my last car. Bought 2 Jesus fish, one said Jesus in it and the other didn't. Cut one tail piece off the "Jesus" one and cut the other up into curved pieces then used them to extend the remaining tail piece. I loved it. One guy who was interested in buying it walked away cause he was offended by it. Oh well. **shrug**

Does the tail wiggle when data is transfering?

Be careful what you "whip out" at starbucks. Unless you live in Berkeley. Then it's ok.

I would tell everyone it was a comet, and then refuse to be convinced otherwise.

This just goes to show that some data is still best transferred the old fashion way.

Why not give her the real thing? It's full of life, and if used properly, it's full of future memories.

@Mr-Mr: Unless YOU give it to her. In which case it's full of barely suppressed past memories, not to mention night terrors and convent joining.

Funny, I plugged it in my computer and it ejected the rest of my USB devices.
