The 'Human Thumb Drive' has to be the creepiest-looking computer accessory available. This functional thumb drive holds 2 GB of memory and is made out of a mold of an actual thumb.

The Human Thumb Drive is long-lasting and relatively cheap to buy at a price of $30. Thirty bucks for an everlasting thumb drive? Sounds like a good deal to me. Check out the gallery to see this [creepy digital digit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-thing) in action.
