A biker who lost one of his fingers in a bike accident has turned his prosthetic replacement finger into a USB drive. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Finnish computer programmer Jerry Jalava combined a 2GB memory stick with his false finger to store photos, movies and programmes. The finger can be easily removed from Jalava's hand and then plugged into a computer's USB drive. <o:p></o:p> "I'm planning to use another prosthetic as a shell for the next version, which will have removable fingertip and RFID tag," he wrote on his blog, ProtoBlogr.net. <o:p></o:p> Mr Jalava's lost the digit after he crashed into a deer while riding his motorbike. Now that's what I call DIGITal know-how

Very good, just think of all the enless possibilities:- torch, knife.. in fact he could have his own Finnish/Swiss army knife, plugged into his hand!
