I suppose that had to change sooner or later.

dead mouse mouse

This disturbing creation is a compact computer mouse that’s been stuffed into the carcass of an actual dead mouse. Now I’m not a big fan of live mice in general, but this just seems too cruel and unusual to me. If you have a weak stomach, do not scroll down.

I told you so. Don’t blame me if you just lost your lunch.

Instructables has a horribly gory tutorial on making your own dead mouse mouse. I do not recommend that you try this under any circumstance. But if you do insist on making one, please do not start with a live mouse, and never let your cat see it.

It’s a fully functional mini-ITX computer crammed into the carcass of a beaver. In addition to being a dead animal, the CompuBeaver is a complete PC loaded with a Core 2 duo processor, 160GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM.

According to the system’s maker, Kasey McMahon, the CompuBeaver is where “nature, technology and science converge.” Personally, I just think it’s plain weird.
