OK, I thought my two in one blender/food processor was cool, but here's a different kind of multi-tasking gadget. Japan's Solid Alliance Corporation  just released GhostRadar, a USB device that detects ghosts AND acts as a portable data storage unit! (The storage and ghost detector functions are not linked, in case you're wondering.)

According to Solid Alliance VP Yuichiro Saito, GhostRadar is recommended for spooky late nights alone at your computer, and for those curious to know if their sudden chills represent a supernatural visitor. GhostRadar beeps and flashes red lights in response to unusual magnetic waves.

And if ghost hunting isn't for you but you still like goofy gadgets, Solid Alliance is also the company that makes those novelty sushi shaped USB storage devices.
