This is AWESOME if I do say so myself!

excerpt:

There's the mousetrap coffee table. By placing crumbs on top, perhaps left there during a canape-laden soiree, mice are attracted to climb up the hole in its over size leg. When sensors detect that a mouse is standing on the trapdoor in the center, this door opens, and the mouse falls into a microbial fuel cell housed under the table where it gets digested and converted into energy to power the sensors and trapdoor.

We all thought it would be human like robots, turns out it's going to be the furniture that turns against us.

Oh yay. I would love to have a table that eats innocent little animals. Woohoo!

I would seriously have to reevaluate my living situation if I felt there were a)mice in my house and b) enough mice in my house to create enough energy to turn a light on.

So, do you want ketchup with that?

 

[Griffin]

Dear God, that's awesome! It's one thing to kill the mice, it's another thing to be sustained by its prey

 

[Lucidmoon]

I approve of this

That is kinky on so many different levels.

See, mice are too cute for this to work.

Cockroaches, on the other hand...*THAT'S* an award winning product, right there.
