Favorite Quote: A Kingston executive said it was unclear if stomach acid could damage one of their drives. "As you might imagine, we have no actual experience with someone swallowing a USB,"

    GI tract was only USB 1.1, or maybe it IEEE 1394 compatible... icon_lol.gif

    Or maybe the dude was old, and his stomach was running Windows 3.11...

    I think he's now experiencing Firewire.
    We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?

    See, this was in that Edward Norton Hulk movie. He swallowed the drive and hours later barfed it up and everything was fine. I submitted that to the Mythbusters and what do they pick? The stupid assed "curving bullets" crap from Wanted. Everybody and Dynamiks mom asked for that. My contention is that during the time that passed in the movie, that thumb drive would've been too far in the digestion process (if it wasn't lodged) to be retrieved by upchucking. Also, I'm curious as to what the stomach acids would do to the circuitry.
