The world’s most famous USB crap gadget maker strikes again. Tokyo-based Thanko is now offering a USB stapler [JP], which is actually just an electric stapler (it requires three AAA batteries to work) that doubles as a USB hub with four ports. That’s two problems solved with just one device.

For some reason, Thanko points out the thing can staple up to five sheets of paper at once, but I think that’s more of a weak point.

If you’re really interested in getting the USB stapler hub but don’t live in Japan, order it over at Geek Stuff 4 U ($32.45).
