lol shut your face. It's not my fault my momma dropped me on my head when I was younger!

Not even kidding, my friends say EXACTLY that at least once every time we hang out. They laugh out loud, then they call me a dumass. Surprising isn't it?

Look at the wattage on toasters to make sure you don't fry your power supply or USB ports. But I bet it could be possible if you go about it intelligently.

Don't be daft, you can't power a toaster from USB. There's no-where near the amount of power needed.

Isn't a toaster like... 800-1500w?

OCZ is coming out with a 2kw psu aren't they?

So... possible but not plausible?

This (http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/pcmods/6b35/) isn't good enough for you?:D

Edit--After checking out Snowfire's link to the Onion Store, I might have finally found an answer to what in the hell to get my best man for a gift.

Revenge, it is said, is a dish best served cold, and payback's a bitch, so yeah...Oh, and kid's say the darnedest things too, but that's a different thread.

wasn't what I meant, but that's worse.

Actually I took an old CD drive, striped out of lot of the mechanics and the reader assembly, basically left the drawer and the motor to open and close it. THen built it into an external enclosure and called it the USB power cup holder. I thought about actually trying to like market it and sell it. BUt then I realised if I did that, every technician on this side of the galatic core would hunt me down.
