    mouse, mouses, mice? Not sure

    But im looking for people who have old Mouse's around for computers, that they do not use.

    Particularly, im looking for mouses, who have the ball inside, usually accessed thru the bottom covershield.

    Im really looking for the ball inside, and not the mouse itself.

    Im trying to see how many people have old ones that are this style (most new ones are optical) and do not need them anymore.

    I would pay to have it shipped.

    But im trying to see if I can get enough before I start the process.

    I need a great quantity of these, so any help is appreciated.

    FWIW, I plan on filling a co-workers cubical, from bottom to top, with the balls from inside the mouses. This will be done when they leave on friday, and return to work on monday.

    Why the mouse ball instead of poping a ton of popcorn and doing it that way? Pop corn is messy clean up, plus the ball refers to an inside joke. I usually remove the ball from inside this persons mouse (they still use the old style) so it wont work, and it drives them nuts. Well, they decided to super glue the trap door to the ball shut, so I couldnt get it out. So I want my revenge on their clever defense.

    So help me prank my co-worker.

    So far I have a few hundred, but Judging from my preliminary run, its gonna take thousands possibly.

    Buy super balls or something else you could pretend are testicles.

    hmm superballs might work, but i edited and put the inside joke in, just to clarify it has nothing to do with testicles, thanks!

    I honestly for about a millisecond thought you were saying he super glued your balls over your asshole so you couldnt use the bathroom. Or that he just superglued your anus shut

    It's going to take almost 1 million of them to fill up the cubicle actually:

    If the cubicle is like 8 ft by 8 ft by 8ft or something, that's like 512 cubic feet. So let's say each ball is 1 inch in diameter, that's about 1,728 per cubic foot, so about 884,736 of them.

    Although, I dunno why they wouldn't just pour out of the hole in the side of the cubicle, unless he has some kind of cubicle that has a door to it or something.

    wow,thanks for doing the math. After seeing what a few hundred looked like, i knew thousands where needed, but not that many.

    Im definately going to have to substitute, and just use the few hundred i already have for the top layer.

    as far as pouring out...lol, at least you didnt say Leakage!

    its not your normal cubical, its really more of an office basically enclosed by glass windows, with a door.

    I am nearly positive the plural of mouse is mice. mouse's would probably be my last guess, after meece.

    Hunter B: No look, there's two of them. A couple of meece!!!

    Hunter A: YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Go to a Dollar Tree and see if they have those self standing displays with the lopsided plastic balls. Then cover them with vaseline and vinegar.
