The Swiss Army Knife of USB Drives
Mudzy writes "The Tech Zone reviews what has to
be the coolest Swiss Army Knife ever made. The Swissmemory USB Victorinox is the
first knife to be equipped with a USB flash drive. " Besides 64 or 128mb of data, it includes such useful items as a ballpoint pen, red light, scissors, nail file, and not surprisingly, a knife.

Ohh... that's why the site's down?
They should have used the dual xeon pocket knife.
GPS data? Backup camping photos? MP3s for round the campfire (and if you've ever heard me singing campfire songs you'll know why taking an MP3 player camping is a good idea...)
This is where the serious fun begins.
Back in the day when MacGyver got stuck in that "smart building" and got attacked by dalek robots, he had to devise all kinds of things to stop them... if he had this he could have done a Jeff Goldblum-esque "upload virus" from his Swiss Army knife and have the rampaging robots under his control!

The knife might come in handy for that also! :)
What's even more bizzare is that the article doesn't link to the ThinkGeek page for this. Instead, they link to a competitor, thetechzone.com.
Congratulations slashdot! you've just shot your sister-company in the foot!
No, they've just DDoS'ed^H^H^H^Hslashdotted the competition.
