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.
