USB Owl Watches Over You

Sometimes I wonder who was the first person to start the "random USB gadget" trend, because they just seem to be getting stranger and stranger every day. Similar to the humping dogs, Thumbs Up UK's new USB Owl seems to serve no purpose other than to simply entertain you.

The Owl moves his head, blinks his eyes, and even flaps his wings. He comes with a clip that allows him to perch atop your monitor and drive you crazy and also has an optional tree stump that he can roost on should you prefer it. It's too bad he can't be remote controlled or had a camera built in, as this would be great to perch on the top of your cubicle at work and make people feel that there is always someone watching them. Make sure you check out the video for the full effect. It will be available in May for about $25. Video demo after the jump.
