Next year all USB Block Erupters will be useless, they won't get a single share, like CPU's now.

Wouldn't it be nice to make them into a key fob to put on your key chain? Or make some fancy jewellery out of them?

They do have a very nice BTC logo on the back and the chips on the front side give them a nice techno look.

The chip on the stick can't do anything else beside mine bitcoins.

I'm pretty sure they could be reused for vanitygen like someone said, but that doesn't take much effort to do. I don't think it will ever get to that point unless you live in an area where electricity is high and your mining on a PC.
