Snails could be used to charge our USB devices in the future?

Snails could be used to charge our USB devices in the future?

Here's an interesting proposition - can you imagine what it would be like to charge your USB devices by plugging them into a port embedded in an animal. It sounds pretty cruel, but there's a chance of it actually being possible in the future. According to reports online, some folks in Israel have managed to generate small amounts of electrical micro-power - by implanting an enzyme-based bio-fuel cell inside a snail, which used the snail's physiologically produced glucose as a fuel.

Ubergizmo, Snails could be used to charge our USB devices in the future?
