Mouse recycledThere are plenty of drawers and cupboards in IT departments across the country hoarding old mice, we’re unable to bring ourselves to dispose of our outdated devices, so lets turn them into office pets, we’ve stumbled upon this kind of recycling scheme.

At the front of this aesthetically interesting machine is a large “whisker” that when in contact with a wall or other solid object will scurry away, well reverse and change direction, before continuing its adventure.

The spare parts can be obtained for a fiver the inventor tells us, the perfect project for these blistering hot weekends and balmy evenings!
