Did anyone lose a USB Drive?

A pair of researchers in New Zealand made a surprising discovery several weeks ago while analyzing a pile of seal poop.

Nestled inside one of the excrement samples — about the size of two dinner rolls, if you must know — was something unusually hard: a USB stick.

What brand thumb drive?

I smell a commercial.
