6. I just got a sandisk digital audio player. I figure i could fit that and my bluetooth stereo transmitter dongle into a medium-size rat. Maybe his nose could be the D-pad.

8. That would have a good idea for about 3 weeks. Then It would begin to rot.

9. That rat thing is awesome. It combines two of my favorite things: taxidermy and LED throwies. Great.

10. The Pumpkin mod had some potential, since everyone loves pumpkins. If only one could figure out how to dry a pumpkin while retaining its form, so it'd last...

12. Agreed that the rat thing is over the line, ive been coming to hack a day for a long time now and it's really dissapointing to see someone like that get publicity thru your site bothers me. Bring back the innovative stuff like DIY rail guns, home theators Puting OSX on your xbox. Something people put more time into than cuting open a dead rat and stuffing it full LED's and magnets for shock value.

Yes, kitoru, it's called freeze-drying. You might be surprised how effective it is.
