My wife's womb is so boring. I'd rather her have a unique one like this, but still with our fetus inside of it. I'm thinking something like:

GitEmSteveDave's wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman and fetus emporium!

GitEmSteveDave's wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman and fetus emporium!

I don't think that's asking for too much...

You know, Steampunk is so 2008. The new cool is MemePunk.

Is the robot set to be "born" on August 29th 1997 2:14 am Eastern Time?

@BeerManMike: Why that date? (I looked in the article and didnt see it.)

Frankly I find the "Fetus" object to be disturbing.

I am very glad that there is still SOMETHING that I find disturbing in life.

@daed: I looked it up and now I know. I wasnt a big fan of Terminator(s), too much violence for me, though I did see the first and second in the series. Beermanmikes comment just freaked me out since that is the exact birthdate of someone very close to me. I know now that its just a coincidence (but a damn creepy one.)

Uhm, this reminds me of those preserved fetuses in Bodyworks or something.

Call me crazy, but I'd put good money down that this is the next must have item. See ya, iPhone!

@church of many: Well, what they are not saying is that the fetus uses a damned proprietary umbilical cord, so you can forget compatibility with your other USB devices.

I like steampunk. I like robot babies. But I think this--from its purposeless industrial design (yes, even fantasy items can be designed with a certain logical flair to look like they really do something) to its obvious desklamp-base origins-- is just a little too poorly executed to be of interest. Fail. (Although, the little robot baby might be intriguing, hard to tell, just lose all the extra garbage.)

@bosskev: OMG! Now that I've clicked through the links to its original source(s), I find that this is not just the handiwork of some garage hobbyist, but is the so-called "art" of a so-called "artist", Molly "Porkshanks" Friedrich. Here's the kicker:

She wants $8,500.00 for this barely-worthy-of-a-crafts-fair oddity! Good grief.

Someone should make a naked Keanu Reeves doll and turn it into a USB drive with the cord going into the back of its neck. I'd do it, but too lazy and it's not that good an idea and what the hell would I do with it anyway? Someone else do it and post the results here. But I get royalties if you mass produce it, 'kay?

Time to drag politics into it:

I'm reminded of the specific moment during the Vice-Presidential Debate when it was obvious just how out-classed Governor Palin was.

It was when Vice-President Elect Biden stated that not even St. Thomas Aquinas believed that life began at conception (Aquinas espoused the notion that ensoulment occurred after the quickening ended on the 40th day).

Weird idea for a drive, makes me wonder who thinks this stuff up. My opinion (not that anyone gives a damn)on the actual issue: Keep Choice safe and legal and choose LIFE.

Making USB drives out of anything may be the new trend, akin to the Mugen PeriPeri and Endless Banana...

@godwhacker: Oh, never underestimate Gizmodo's bottomless pit of taste. Crudeness, vulgarity and junior high antics--it's all part of the Giz experience.

Which, of course, is exactly why I'm here.
