Crowing cock memory stick   (+9, -1)  [vote for, against]
Alerts you when it is safe to be removed.

A USB flash memory stick in the shape of a male fowl. It flaps its wings and crows (cock-a-doodle-oo) when it is safe to be removed.

Buy one of these, hack the mechanism ... http://www.tressuga...g-Dog-USB-Key-85268

There's somewhere I could go with this, but I'm not going there. Besides, I'm not sure about the mechanics.

If I attach a sound module and motorised wings to Rod's memory stick, will the cock suck as well as crow?

Here's a half-serious proposal for halfbakery markup: a faux- xml tag that indicates "yes, I know there's an obvious joke here, please do not spoil the subtlety of my anno by actually making it." The only problem is that the person who needs it most dislikes faux-xml.

I do like the idea, and the mechanical wing flapping especially. [+]
