Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs. The 1976 edition of the American Heritage Dictionary included only the definition regarding geek shows.

Interesting! Even more exciting: the geek gifts and geek office toys at FunUSB.com embrace the macabre roots of geek-dom. Mostly.

Take our scary 2GB Human Skull Flash drive.  Sure, it’s not as geeky as biting the head off of a live chicken, but it sure is good at storing data of all persuasions.  Not many geeks could resist such an unusual USB gift.

Need a geek gift, but having trouble putting your finger on the perfect present?  Let us give you the finger.  Or the thumb, as it goes.  A 2GB real human thumb (or at least it looks like one) flash drive is the perfect unusual USB gift.  

If you want office geek toys that don’t break the office budget, check out our other inexpensive gifts: our mini-lava lamp, moody message pad, mini-vacuum, plasma tubes, and our USB party light string are unusual USB gifts that are all less than $13.00.

Heck, you probably can’t even get a live chicken for a geek show that cheap these days!
