The mousetrap is a device used for the capture or killing of small rodents, in particular mice and rats. The traditional model was invented by Hiram Maxim and consists of a simple tablet with a very strong spring coupled to a bar and to a point that drives the mechanism. According to the stereotype, cheese is the commonly used bait, although it does not always work because some mice are not appreciated, while chocolate, bread, meat and peanut butter seem more appealing. When the trap snaps, the mechanism should cause neck breakage or crushing of the chest. Nowadays there are also traps that, after the non-bloody catch, allow the animal to be released alive and without damage to another environment. Mouse trap (bait: chocolate). In this case, you should remember that it should be released as soon as possible because severe stress could cause its death. It should also be freed from the place of capture due to the strong instinct to return to its territory. Traps have become a common substitute for bullet bullets soaked in stricnine, abandoned because of the extreme toxicity of the substance and the danger they represent to humans, especially for children and infants but also for pets. Ralph Waldo Emerson made a comment, often cited, in favor of innovation: 'Build a better mousetrap, and the world will come to look for you (literally: will walk a path for your door)' ('Build a better mousetrap, And the world will beat a path to your door »). This observation inspired many other cynical derivatives, such as 'If you build a better mousetrap, someone will build a better mouse', which means no matter how much One is good at stopping events like robberies, bumps, etc. (Or hunt down those who are dedicated to it), someone will find the way to circumvent what you have thought. Ironically, it should be noted that Maxim was an energetic divulger of his invention and he would not have expected people to 'pave a path to his door.' Mouse traps are very common in the slapstick comedy, and in this case they are used when people sit over or stick a finger. In cartons such as Tom & Jerry, you are often used as astronauts, funny and fantastic mice. #mousetrap
