Report I've used one of these before - the interface is terrible. Only by constantly double-clicking button 3 can you get it to work at all.
Report device (noun): "A project or scheme, often designed to deceive; He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
Report Maybe I'm biased (being a hetero male), but I really do think it's a beautiful piece of industrial design. Even if you ignore the obvious inspiration for the design, the REST of the mouse is quite attractive as well. If you look at some of Kurovets's other designs, he/she is clearly very talented.
Report If you go to design school, someone in one of your classes will inevitably end up making a device shaped like male or female genitalia. Katie-Who-Slept-With-The-Drafting-Teacher made a TV remote shaped like this in one of my design studios.
Report Seconding Antinous -- it looks like a vulva, not a vagina. To help everyone remember the distinction: Your mouth isn't your throat, and your vulva isn't your vagina.

Also one can click the urethra for quick access, didn't know about that trick.
I've seen photos of real mice that looked like vulvas, only with the lips closed; this is about as clever as referring to a penis as a "joystick" or vice versa.
Report I was gonna say "in before the conversation deteriorates to an argument between prescriptionists and descriptionists"... So instead I'll propose a variant of Godwinning a discussion: Enslering. That's where you use a term that is a common subject of debate due to variations between dictionary definition and common colloquial usage.

Nancy Elliott (R-NH), in the video embedded above, explains why she opposes marriage between partners of the same sex. Snip: I started thinking, and We're talking about taking the penis of one man and putting it in the rectum of another man, and wiggling it around in excrement, and you have ...

It's "mixing," not plagiarism, says much-lauded 17-year-old author Helene Hegemann, a celebrated author and playwright in Berlin who's all of 17 years of age, is at the center of a plagiarism controversy after blogger Deef Pirmasens "last week uncovered material in the novel taken from the less-well-known novel Strobo, by an author writing under the nom de plume Ai...
