From todays London Lite (page 4)
A computer programmer who lost his ring finger in a motorbike accident has replaced it with a USB drive.
Jerry Jalava, from Finland, built a prosthetic digit to store files which can be removed and plugged into his computer. He said: "When I'm using the USB, I leave my finger inside the slot and pick it up after I'm ready."
