USB Powered Toothbrush

[Buck]

From what I can see here (http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/akiba/hotline/20030222/etc_habrashi.html), this toothbrush is powered by a USB connection. If anyone can read the site, it would be funny to see what it says about this device.

I saw a USB powered Cell phone charger... I thought it was a good idea... however, i wonder if the power requirements on the USB port could be causing problems...

I have a USB-powered Homer Simpson. :)

oh my gawd! can you make him say stuff?

[Mercutio]

Yeah. When he's hooked up you can set the level of his commentary, and he dances and stuff. He says stuff depending on what you're doing (e.g. you're "Boring" when you open word or excel) or where you are on the web.

On a much lamer note: before Christmas I came across a link to USB Christmas lights (http://www.monster-hardware.com/articles/usblights%201.htm).
