Well this is a disturbing idea! The idea that a computer mouse resembles a real mouse is mildly amusing, but the reality of someone taking a real, dead mouse and modelling it into a computer mouse is just plain grotesque. However, this is what was done by a couple of Indestructables.com contributors. This is definitely and example of creativity in the most strange sense.
Implications - The mouse mouse was made by Christy Canida and Noah Weinstein. The real mouse was bought when it was already dead, so no unnecessary killings occurred. The mouse mouse is made out of just the skin of a real mouse. You can't help but feel a little sad when you look at the poor guy!
