Top Tag Pet ID USB thumb drive
We were all ready to start harshing on the Top Tag Pet ID--a USB thumb drive that contains vital info about your pet--because it seems pretty silly to assume that a lost animal's rescuer would know what the hell to do with that small piece of plastic dangling from Tinkerbelle's collar. Upon further consideration, however, the Top Tag does indeed seem to have some legitimate uses, as long as it's supplemented with an old-fashioned engraved ID tag for the computer illiterate. Besides basic identification info, the Top Tag also stores diet, behavior, command, medical, and burial instructions, which can be viewed and edited on any Windows 2000-or-later PC. So if you needed to, say, bring your dog to a new vet while on vacation, the doc could easily use the Top Tag to see his/her medical history, and even view pictures of him/her in different stages of life. The only caveat here is that you gotta keep Top Tag-enabled pets from swimming in the ocean: fresh water shouldn't do any damage, but salt water can totally own this device.
