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.

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.

2. You can use them as a vertical level

When attached to a string, for picture hanging.

Kinda like hockey pucks. Just watch your step.

6. Give them to supernaturally long-lived mice

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

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