Countdown to Christmas, 12 days: Hacked And Frayed Spy Flash Drive

"What's this you got me? A half a USB cable? You shouldn't have..." Ah, we can imagine the delight on recipients faces now. But this is no ordinary piece of discarded half-a-USB-cable. Oh no. It's actually a cunningly disguised 2GB flash drive.

Plug it into your laptop and for all the world you'll appear a slightly unhinged odd-ball who believes they're tapping into the cosmic ether - or a knuckle scraping, techno-neanderthal who's been taking "going wireless" a little too literally. Click through for more - and a shot of it in action.

But let them mock, for you, and any other Hacked And Frayed Spy Flash Drive owners, will know that you have 2GB of files at your disposal, tucked away in something that looks like chewed end of an unwanted USB flex. And that's something money can't buy. Well, not unless you have $29.99 and happen to shop at Think Geek anyway.

Oh, one more thing - don't try and wire this back up to an actual chewed end of an unwanted USB flex. That's how houses burn down. That and the little fire pixies inside our head...

See the rest of the countdown for other Christmas gift ideas that haven't come from the comedy props department.
