ScoopFlash writes to tell us that TechEBlog has assembled what they consider to be some of the strangest computer mice ever put to market, complete with pictures. I just hope I don't need to answer the phone in the middle of an important instance.

As you roll your desk chair around, the cursor moves likewise.
Now if I can only think of a way to keep it from clicking everytime I sit down.
