Mousetrap table lets you watch as it devours pests

mousetrap_coffee_table.jpgNow here's a scary concept: the Mousetrap Table. One of the legs of this coffee table has a hole in it. If a mouse ventures inside, a sensor will shut a door behind it and force it to go to that little compartment in the center. Once there, the mouse will be consumed by a microbial fuel cell, generating energy to help trap its next victim.

Yes, it's kind of a horrifying concept, but it's just that: a concept. So you won't be able to buy a bloodthirsty table at Ikea anytime soon. But maybe someday. The truly twisted can only hope.

Why do you people even post sick crap like this? This
kind of "product" is as marketable to normal people as
the "Iron Maiden". [img]http://bestsmileys.com/puking/2.gif[/img]

I disAgree with you Luis Arana, the reason I disagree is if you use a mouse,trap,poison,gluetrap,or cat the mouse dies,why not use a table that traps the mouse and consumes it for energy to trap more mice,I think its the coolest invention that ive seen in awhile, after all its consumeing/ elimanateing the mice without using electricty and it's saving the ozone all at the same time aka good for the enviroment, and I would Definetly buy one is the price was low enough.

Hellraiser, I'll bet you'd love the Roman Gladiator games
where blood flowed freely and guts fell out of living men.
Blood lust ruled the day.
