USB Powered Pet Rock

Yes, this has nothing to do with retro video games...at first glance.  Found this gem while browsing at this great retro greek website called thinkgeek.com, that does in fact feature some awesome old school Nintendo goodies.  The USB Powered Pet Rock does it all!  Huh, come to think of it I do have a gallon bag full of usb cables and a hot glue gun.  If only I could find a rock somewhere...  Here's the ad info and direct link:  The Pet Rock phenomenon was an unbelievable experiment performed in the 70s by an advertising executive. The challenge: could he take a simple idea, market it, make people happy, and use it all to turn himself into a millionaire? The answer: yes. And . . . well, we at ThinkGeek love performing famous experiments to see if we can duplicate the outcome. But we need your help.  Simply plug the USB cable into a free port and let the fun begin. The USB Pet Rock will instantly begin to work its magic. People will stop by and ask you what your USB Pet Rock does. Each time, you can make up a new story; for no matter what you say, it will be greater than the truth - because these USB Pet Rocks don't do a dang thing. Except make you smile. And confuse your friends and coworkers, which will make you smile even more. So, get your USB Pet Rock today, and help make us rich tomorrow.
FYI fellow Retrotizers' the original Pet Rock is still out there via Edmund Scientific and other uber nerd outlets.  Curiously the old non-usb powered Pet Rock offers the same features as the update.  You can't make this kind of stuff up! -kaokensho
