USB Hamster Wheel

Juniper Foo | Oct 04, 2006

Fancy the world's lowest maintenance hamster? This one popped into our inbox this morning, and we were tickled enough by the thought of a USB-powered rodent cranking away in its wheel on your desktop that we had to feature it here. One up on your cubicle mate? As the literature goes, this is "no ordinary hamster". It runs as fast as you type. The faster you type, the more exercise your "pet" gets. So get those digits stretched and cracking, and ham it up for the office crowd that's bound to ogle at this cute little furball. We'd suggest you put up a "Do Not Feed" sign. Ranks up there with the USB-powered air darts.
