I discovered an article from back in December that appeared
in the Huffington Post featuring a chess set that is the most unique I have
ever seen. I would dearly love to have
it for no other reason than to show up at a chess tournament and insist that
we use my set; it was made by a taxidermist out of…mice!! A lady
named Rachael Garcia made the set from real mice. After learning how to do
taxidermy, Ms Garcia decided to make the weirdest chess set she could. The
project only took her about 30 days, working two to three hours each day. The mice were taken from a captive breeding
facility that distributes frozen rodents used to feed reptiles. It sounds bizarre but as she pointed
out, it is better for the mice to be "battling it out on the chess
board" than to be in the belly of a snake.
