   Meh! This is silly.
   Now I’ll stuff a USB drive up a chicken’s butt and call it a USB chicken.

2. [O_M]

   …Otay, really impress me. Achieve this stunt with a 5.25″ floppy!

3. [certron]

   Yes,it looks nice, but does the spring-loaded door slide over?

4. [Rickyneck]

   I just punched myself in the face. And it feels better than seeing a floppy ‘in use’ again.

5. [J]

   i just want to know if I can buy one. Where?!

6. [cardeia]

   Interesting (re)use for an old floppy, more gag factor than anything, since it wouldn’t be as compact to carry about.

   There are some old schoolers out there that may just find this amusing! I know I did!

   It would be super cool if they had a mating drive it went into, and the metal door slid aside to reveal the USB contacts, and .. and .. oh, wait. It is cute, though. I hope it’s really large capacity to make up for the size.

   That laptop it’s plugged into looks pretty retro, too. I think it’s a Dell from about 6 years ago.

   Um… is that a single density, double density or high density floppy?
