Yes it is a penguin thumb drive but not just any penguin thumb drive:  This one comes with a live image of Ubuntu Linux 9.0.4 otherwise known as the Jaunty Jackalope.  It is available in 1,2,4,8 and 16 GB sizes.  Prices range from $12.95 for the 1 GB version to $43.95 for the 16 GB version.  It is a fantastic way to support the World Wildlife Fund and LInux at the same time.
