For something that is supposed to be fun, the picture is just depressing. Is that someone's vision of post-college life? An undecorated condo, business casual clothes, boys in blue and girls in pink, but HEY you get to buy whatever coffee table you like!
Look, that wussy table is for show at best. You think you're gonna be having hardcore foos-tournaments on that thing? No. You will have coffee and go "oooh. Well, would you look at that?" with your stinking pinky out.
You want the real cred, then tighten up that tool belt, get yourself a full-size foos table, a sheet of lexan and build a friggin' top on it. In addition to earning major cool points, you also get first picks of color. Forever.
This sounds like the first part of an episode of the "Twilight Zone" that ends with the human realizing that the entire house is part of a trap that provides fuel for a larger creature that, in the last moment, peers through the window and chuckles.
And the designer could not have just turned the entry leg around so it was safely tucked away UNDER the table and not sticking out as a major tripping hazard for people? Or is this a purposeful design and part of his diabolical plan--there is actually a second fuel cell compartment that lines up with where your human victim's faces would land?
I didn't think there was anything as satisfying as watching my ball python crush and eat a mouse. It's an amazing event. My cat and dog sit and watch as well. This device, however, is a whole new world of phone. I would charge my cell phone on the souls of the fallen. Take THAT mickey mouse.
@Skeetz: "I didn't think there was anything as satisfying as watching my ball python crush and eat a mouse...My cat and dog sit and watch as well."
Hey, Skeetz. I remember way back when you were posting announcements everywhere saying how you were devastated that your cat mysteriously went missing. Then, just days later, your dog also. Well, I think we may have just solved the mystery.
Needless to say, I'd suggest not leaving your visiting grandmother sit unattended too long.
I dont like mice, but I dont think I could have this. I look at it from the rodents point of view after thinking back to a favorite childhood book, "The Mouse and the Motorcycle".
How is it consumed as fuel? It looks like there a wheel for the mouse to run on, presumably to generate power. As long as food and water are available the mouse should last for a long time. The only two apparent issues are getting the mouse to run on the wheel consistently and figuring out what to power with the energy. I'm guessing a night light and that's about it...
@Jrsy Devil's Advocate: That "wheel" you are seeing is from the top view of the table. That is the fuel-cell. The orthographic view from the link makes it a bit clearer. I'm pretty sure that the fuel-celled rodent only provides enough power to annihilate the next rodent, and so on.
@Jrsy Devil's Advocate: The website describes it as a "microbial" fuel cell. In all probability, they haven't figured out the power source yet. Hence, this is only a concept.

Secondly, with my cats, a mouse wouldn't make it to the hole, unless, the mouse is chased into the hole by my cats.

Yeah, I looked at it in more detail after commenting unfortunately.
I still like my idea better. It's a little more humane and the mouse lasts longer..
