That should work here, too. ;))
Here's the URL link, along with the questions (and their answers):
Free USB drive! It's probably only 32MB or something stupid, but I though I'd share anyways. Just click on the "Valuable Information" link to the right, and use the answers below.

wtf @ 32mb.. Lame.
He said *maybe* 32mb. It could be 8mb, and it could be 1024mb. But 32mb is a good number.
Don't complain about things you don't have to pay for.
Mine will be here in 6 to 8 weeks. 8)
I would love one, but I'm afraid they'd send me a nice lawsuit with it.

You have to verify that the e-mail address you provide is yours. Then they show you a confirmation page.

QuoteThank you for requesting the Mystery Solved USB drive loaded with valuable information. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.
I'm going to laugh when it's read only or something stupid like that. =(
It's been around 5-6 weeks. Post when you get yours!
It has? Super. I hope mine arrives soon!
March 1 to April 1 is four weeks, and it's the 13th right now, which is six months minus one day.
It's only 16mb. I got a 128mb a few days ago, so I'm good. :P
Oh God, are you kidding me? *sigh*
