Apple’s Mighty Mouse Laser: Easter Egg or Creepy Coincidence?

According to Arstechnica.com and several people in the comments of this post, when you look at the image that Apple’s Mighty Mouse makes, it looks like a…(wait for it)…mouse. Cool. Creepy…but cool.

So is this the way it was made? I would have to think so, but usually Apple isn’t shy on its little features like this so its odd that we are just hearing about it now. But then again, they never say a thing about OS X’s ability to switch to negative colors in a flash (Try it: Ctrl+Option+Apple+8), so maybe we can just add this to the list of cool little Apple secrets.

Anyone out there have a Mighty Mouse? Can you add to the list of verifiers?
