Don't worry, it's not quite as the title seems 
But if you do a bit of out and about computing on your trusty laptop, but need a 2GB storage drive, then take a look at this! ThinkGeek :: Hacked Flash Drive
At first it seems like it's a broken piece of cable, but in reality it's a flash drive

2GB flash drive cleverly disguised as a frayed and broken USB cable
Easily transfer and store files, photos and music
USB 2.0 with 1.1 backwards compatibility
Mac, Windows and Linux compatible, of course
| Very very clever

It is If I was in the US and needed a 2GB flash drive I know what I'd get 
The shipping and customs charge for sending it here isn't really worth it just for that

Looks too much like something I would find in the workshops and throw away!
If you have a mate in the US who would post it to you it could go mail person to person with no duty - especially if it has been used by say someone putting a useful little file on it for you!

I'm not that desperate to have one, I have two 1GB sticks already (lost the first one but then found it whilst tidying up) and don't use them any more now I've finished college.
I just thought they were quite cool and kinda funny

At the current $-£ rate that equals £34.25, which is way over the top for a 2GB flash drive, no matter how cool it looks.
