Make a hamster shredder!
"Tom Ballhatchet, 29, developed the product using a friend's hamster for his masters degree in industrial design.
The London-based design consultant said: 'I wanted to come up with a product that would capture people's imagination while addressing issues of topical concern such as climate change, recycling and identity fraud.
'The hamster shredder provides a solution to all of these things because it relies on the hamster to generate power, destroys confidential documents and turns paper into bedding.
'Owners can put their paper in the top before they go to bed and wake up to find the hamster has been on its wheel and shredded the paper in the process.
'The hamster just has to go about its normal life.'
Several companies have expressed an interest in turning the working prototype into a full scale production."

I was like, no way, that's just wrong. Even if you were going to eat them, you wouldn't stick it in a shredder.
Now I see what the point is. Clever, but bad (intentional?) title.

I love this, but I would change the name of this idea. "Hamster shredder" sounds like a device that tears apart hamsters.
Being a real man, I'm against animal cruelty. I suggest you call this idea the "Hamster-powered-shredder." Thank you.
