<heavy-russian-accent>Camwren is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will, almost unlimited storage… something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a Kinko’s… with a USB drive. With a fuckin’ USB drive. Not a hard drive with a USB connection. A. Fucking. Flash. Drive. A little one, maybe 64GB. Who does that? And when he was done, he just plugged it in, got right on working on his Excel spreadsheet. Now get the fuck out of my sight.</heavy-russian-accent>

I was thinking of the “data spike” that Robocop had to connect to computer databases. Which, of course, was eventually used for non-data-related purposes.

I actually have a flash drive in the shape of a miniature Master Sword…

USB as a deadly weapon? Nicholai Hel has entered the chat.
He probably stabbed him then had to turn the usb over and stab him the other way too.

I didn’t laugh a bit. Ok, maybe 8 bits…

I honestly half expected that someone encased a usb stick in a full-sized sword (and it may be), but my search was swamped out by all the miniature swords/knives that flash drives are built into…
