Mother of God seen on USB Flash drive

Pray you don't lose your data

If you lose a file from this USB drive then you’d better pick your expletives carefully or you’ll have the Good Lord, vengeful wrath and all, snapping at your heels.

Thou shalt not carve graven USBs

The Maria Memory Stick is USB 2.0 compatible and can be used to store all your essential files. However, unlike any other Flash drive, this one also boasts a golden halo above the Virgin’s head which is engraved with the statement, "Oh Maria, keep my data safe."

The halo also serves as a way of yanking her from the USB port, apparently.

Plug her in and "she comes to life, her red LED heard starts to beat – in passive state slowly, quicker whilst connecting or saving data", according to her retailer on Earth.

Being the mother of Jesus, you’d probably expect unlimited amounts of storage. But, it’s only available in a 512MB capacity.

Nonetheless, this choice item coming to a stable near you this Christmas and can be bought for gold, frankincense or myrrh... sorry... €69s (£49/$99).

re: Other versions?

"The man-made "virgin" cannot protect you and your files. Trust me, these can still be infected by man-made viruses."

Yes remember, virgins can still be infected by viruses. Be careful out there, kiddos, and always use protection when interfacing with unknown hardware.

@Steve

"My christian mythology knowledge is quite limited, but Jesus and God aren't actually the same entity AFAIK."

If it was logical it wouldn't be religion/mythology/superstition, now would it? Lots of people actually do say that in one of their prayers, and since whatever you make up is good enough in this field... There you go.

Saint Jobs, because he thinks he is god.
