A software developer in Finland has installed a USB drive in the finger he had amputated following a motorcycle accident last year.

Helsinki man Jerry Jalava said the 2GB storage device has been very handy for transporting pictures, video and other computer documents.

He got the bizarre idea when his surgeons found out what he did for a living and joked he should have a USB stick mounted on his finger stump.

Mr Jalava took the idea seriously.
