Mouse Balls

[Bob Willson]

Just as an interesting aside from this deep and meaningful thread ... Did you know that mouse movement is measured in Mickeys? (I am sure all you programmers out there knew this but lots of others don't.)

mickey: a unit of measure for movement of mouse, approx. 1/200 of an inch.

And I will throw Mici into the ring as a plural, I know it's wrong but Bob will just have to take up the challenge

And so Iain you just mispelled it a bit, it should actually be a Mickey.

If your mouse ball’s lacking lustre
And you’ve tried it with a duster
But your duster won’t pass muster
Then you need . . .

Something that’ll keep it rollin’
That’ll keep you in control an’
Keep your mouse out of a hole an’
What you need . . .

Well, the answer is a cracker!
It’s Max Factor Knacker Lacquer!
Adds a lustre to your cluster!
That’s what you need!

Hey Bob

Is that where the saying "As thick as a Mickey Hair" comes from.

I wish to thank the learned erudite Gentleman, I think

[Bob Willson]
