Muse or Mouse

Muse : the source of an artist's inspiration. Have you ever wondered where to look for inspiration?


And they called him Cleopatra Lee....our Cleo the Cat was my muse for "The Cat and the Rat" Chinese New Year special!


Above, one of the Eramanis pets residing in Shelley, Perth, which is instantaneously transformed into a computer mouse. Which made me think : why a mouse? And not say, a rhino or hippo?

According to Wikipedia, there is a fake etymology of the word "mouse", which some claim is an acronym for "Manually Operated User Selection Equipment". But most of us believe this device's name came from its resemblance to a mouse; the cord on early models resembled a rodent's tail, and the motion of the pointer on the screen seem to be mouse-like.

So sometimes one need not look further than the little hole in your house.

I wonder what runs through the head of the artist of this truly amazing blog :

I could just go on for hours.
