Other uses for LEGO parts

Call me unethical but do does anybody use their lego for anything other than building or that nature? I'll admit that I sometimes drink out of the pick a brick cups since they are pretty tall. So come and tell!

I use lego teccnic tubes to make annoying high pitched sounds , but thats about it.

They make great whistles!

Anyways, I made a great back scratcher out of some Bionicle weapons. Aahh...that was great. I won't go into my whole nose picker idea involving a minifig spear... and I also use my quick MOCs as stress relievers...

"Stupid computer!" (SMASH SMASH) "MUAAHHHA! Take that Lego city!"

And the next day, I make something great! You should all feel sorry for my Striking Venom from Exo-Force,

Does that count? C'mon! I suppose that isnt such a bad one. Lego fights are much worse. What a terrible thing to disgrace the best form of plastic in the world. Or ABS or whatever it is.

Once I needed one of these for a project I was working on.

But didn't have one, so I made one out of technic bricks and rubber bands. Took it apart when I was done..

A friend of mine used a stack of bricks to prop up a laptop, and used a stack of bricks with zip ties (to reinforce) as a bicycle saddlebag holder.

I've used 3 three shock absorbers attached with one of these as a stress reliever at school.

My LEGO is my unintentional pain-inducer. They sure do hurt when you step on them without anything on your feet!

That's the only thing I could think of, except I did use a few bricks in a molecular demonstration once.

Printing block pictures with poster paint.

The good old texturing clay/salt dough/plasteceine trick.

Making a rattle.

Nothing too drastic.

One thing I had created in the past when I was a kid, was bookshelf holders (if this is the right term for these...). My book collection back then wasn't too big and certainly wasn't too heavy.
