Long story.....

One of our internal auditors was in our office the other day when she saw a mouse scurry along the wall, and of course she was off the floor and on a chair screaming. So today I brought in a plastic mouse and left it for her on her desk and scared the crap out of her again. My boss thought that was hilarious and thinks I should make a computer mouse out of the fake mouse, so I started doing some research to see how many people actually do that. I found a guy that actually does it here.

Now if you could get it to squeek when you press the button -- that would be priceless.

R_T are you saying you have an ex girlfriend who is expecting and not telling who the lucky papa is?

It's times like this I wish I'd have read more books like "Of Mice and Men".

It's a wonderful book, but very sad. I cried lots and lots when I read it - couldn't believe that school would make me read something so profoundly misery-inducing. Still, a great work - and never too late to pick it up, joe :D though I think you'll find it scant in the 'make mouse out of mouse' blueprints department.

I think he was referring to the title more then the content of the book... at least that's how that post makes sense to me...
