I was typing away on my umpteenth OuiJa answer and I glanced up. Sitting on the edge of the book shelf over my desk was an old mouse. The mouse was the kind with a ball to transfer info to the computer, but it did have a wheel. I opened it up, took out the wheel and the wire. I widened the wheel hole just enough to jam a ballpoint through and drill a hole through the bottom for the ball end of the ballpoint.
I put it on a piece of paper held down by a couple books. Placed my fore and middle fingers on it lightly. I leaned back in my chair closed my eyes and relaxed. I asked, feeling a bit silly, "Are you there?" About ten minutes later I had some scribbling I couldn't decypher and a "Y" I could.

Yes. You have rediscovered automatic writing and have described how to make an updated planchette. I usually just use a pen. It's a pleasant activity similar to meditation in its effects. It also stimulates creativity and is a nice activity for breaking up writer's block. The surealistic poets and artists used to draw and write poetry this way. The more you practice the more elaborate and legible your writings will be. Enjoy!

are you making a pun on the word mouse. do you mean a literal mouse and the joke is to drill a hole for a live mouse and insert it in a computer designedfor it and have it communicate with people.

Interesting, perhaps you have found a missing y, a chromosome maybe, missing from your life?
