Following on from 'do you work in a lab', it struck me that many of us use very expensive lab equipment for mundane purposes. For example, I have a 2" square of very exotic metal alloy (about $500 worth) holding down the wing-mirror on my truck. Anyone else have an example of the sublime being used for the ridiculous??

er, a friend of mine used paintball marker ("gun") parts to make his homemade bong/waterpipe... Is that sort of what you meant? I've another friend who uses a large aquarium tank as a garden on his balcony..

Something else we did was cut the bottom two inches off of 30mm cases, polish them up, and put in shot glasses. I always thought it would be fun to hang a string of .50 cal dummies like a garland.
I made an instrument out of zippers and plywood. The acoustics arent worked out yet. It sounds good, though.

Am currently designing world's most annoying card! I took all the musical mechanisms from old birthday and christmas cards, and I'll put them all together into one freakishly interactive card. Upon opening, the reciever will be serenaded with the voices of 10 000 yowling cats, and such cherished melodies like "Silent Night", only in musical saws format.

And more probably.
