expensive-usb-drive-2-16-07.jpgSay hello to one of the most expensive (& unnecessary) USB drives ever conceived.  This $765 USB drive designed by Japan’s Statsuma Kiriko is stylized with crystals to ensure that you get the most bling for your USB buck. 

Along with holding 2GB of files, you also get to look hip with the Statsuma USB drive.  But at $765, you may not have much time for files, as you’ll be too busy recovering from that ridiculous loss.

To tell you the truth, I don’t know why you would want to cube an egg, maybe there is some ancient Roman recipe that calls for such a thing, anyhoo- say hello to the Hard Boiled Egg Cuber.

There is not a hard boiled egg around that won’t get cubed by this wacky gadget, chickens beware, you are now going to be square.  This made-in-China food gadget is sure to win over someone, though I’m not really sure who, is it you? 

I think the Hard Boiled Egg Cuber falls into the What a Waste category quite nicely.  What do you think?  Make sure to check out the new egg gadget that makes hard boiled eggs without water, you’re interested- I know you are.
