After thinking for ages (and I mean ages ) I finally came up with another game, so here goes. Someone thinks of an item and the next person thinks of an alternative use for it - that being despite the obvious!
OK scenario time .... Person A - CDs Person B - can be used as frisbees And then they give an item of their own. Repeat process. The starting Item is - Shoes (enjoy!) |

Computers could also be used as highly accurate, well-programmed, bug-free machines to enrich people's lives.

All the blu-tac in the world can be clumped together into a big ball, launched into space and used as an alternative home planet for the people who don't like it on this one.

Butter the toast, and tie it butter-side-up to a cat. Then throw the cat in the air. As it approaches the floor, the cat will be trying to land feet first - but the toast will also be trying to land butter-side down. Because they both always occur, the cat/toast combo. will never land - and just forever spin around and around. This perpetual motion can be used for a new source of electricity.

Put lots of mobile phones in a circle, their antennae (or approximate location of potential antennae) pointing into the centre. Place an egg in the middle, then make a call on all the phones. Voila! Your egg will be cooked.

Can be used along with a bit of elastic to make a catapult (by sticking the chopsticks into something and tying the elastic to the ends). This has much the same use as the chopsticks but is more fun to use.
