A Finnish computer programmer who lost a finger in a motorcycle accident last summer has replaced the digit with a USB drive. After having the finger amputated he built his own prothetic which looks like a real finger until you peel back the nail to reveal a 2.0 gigabyte USB key. “It is not attached permanently into my body,” he says. “When I’m using the USB, I just leave my finger inside the slot and pick it up after I’m ready.” (The Telegraph)
