THE MOUSE...
"The Venus Mousetrap is two ideas personified: "mouse-trap" and "Venus fly trap." It is inspired by a fondness for classic horror films, specifically, "Little Shop of Horrors." "Some might see this and think it's a statement that Microsoft is trying to take over the world, but it's just in good fun . . . enjoy."
