Thumb Drive!Been meaning to make this for ages. It's a 4GB flashdrive embedded in a stone-plaster cast of my right thumb.
Worked pretty well, no bubble defects on the casting.
Only problem appears to be the grey dots - that's where the drive's alignment is slightly off and is close to the surface of the plaster.
I might paint it in a tasteful 'Torn off thumb' colour scheme.

Edit : Given this project its own page.

Cool!Only concern - how resilient would it be to eg being carried round in a pocket or something?
Maybe you could do it in latex or something like that if a home kit exists for that sort of thing.
And of course latex would make it all the better when you inevitably get round to doing one with your genitals.

What tribs should do now is remove his actual thumb, and replace it with a female USB connectorThen he can keep his thumb drive on his, errm, thumb!

ActuallyThe monofilament-whip-in-the-thumb is a traditional feature in cyberpunk books and RPGs, not just Johnny Mnemonic. And that film would be a lot better if it wasn't Keantactu Reeves.

DuuuudeI remember 2 scenes from JM (actually saw it at cinema). The whip scene, and Reeves jerking his head back in shock in a silent "Whooooa!". I giggled at both.

Good old that bloke.That bloke who wasn't Keanu Reeves from Bill & Ted should meet up with that bloke who wasn't Mike Myers from Wayne’s World.

It's stone plasterWhich is much tougher than plaster of paris. Still gives excellent detail reproduction (I'll have to smooth off my thumb-print before giving the item away) and takes about 30-40 mins to set. It can still be scratched, with difficulty. A good quality paint should keep it scuff-free.
Latex is doable. Although it would take a hell of a lot of the stuff to cast my danglies. Oh yeah.
