Used thread spools, What are they good for?
1. My mom used to paint them for Christmas ornaments.

2. Scientists use them for research.

3. I use them to help turn on closet lights

4. Mr. Jinggles learned how to push them

5. I should paint them black and chuck them at conservatives.
( ie, George Allen, R, Virginia, (Just a hairy scary)

1. Do you have children or grandchildren?
String eight or ten of them on yarn. My son LOVED them when he was a baby. He used rattled them, teethe on them, and just carry them around.

They make great toys for little ones.

6. Give them to supernaturally long-lived mice
to roll around. Let some convicted cajun guy take care of them.

(to those saying, "huh?", see the movie "The Green Mile".)

8. Anti-fart devices
place one at the *ahem* threshold, and air will leak out as it sees fit, instead of building up enough energy to create noise.
