What are all the things you can you do with a Paper Clip??

It was in the paper before. Its some sort of mental exercise; the more things you can think of in 60 seconds, the cleverer you are (more creative? meh!) something like that. Well since that doesnt translate well to boards well have our own cuckoo version. Anyway Ill start

Clip paper together!

You could use it to reach the reset buttons on calculators, mp3 players etc.

Yes, and use the emergency eject feature on CDROM drives!
Although that would probably be covered by "etc"

if it was a big paperclip, you could use it as a slide to hold back your hair.....

Or (and I have used this one) if the hem falls down on your trousers you can use it to hold the hem up.

If the zip pull was broken on your purse/fly you could use a paper clip

I also once used a paper clip to hold my trousers up, worked really well.

You could stab someone in the eye with a paper clip

sanncoo · 01-04-2005 10:46am

Since we've gone down that road

You could pick a scab with a paper clip....

Or burst an unburstable zit...

Eoghan-psych · 01-04-2005 10:54am

You can use them to remove staples.

And as earrings [clean it first].

And to display photos [hanging them from a thread].

sanncoo · 01-04-2005 11:15am

You could use them as a mini tongue scraper!

grimsbymatt · 01-04-2005 11:50am

You could unfold one and stab a frog with it.

NotMe · 01-04-2005 3:06pm

You can use it as a toothpick. You can use it to scrape the dirt from under your toenails. You can use it as a toothpick.

YOu could build a giant metal suit out of one and take over the world..

or stick them in a plug socket to die.

or you could stick them into you're skin like hooks and then hang things off them, like staplers and cups and other such useful utilities.

Or you could magnetise a big bag of them, then eat the bag and Then wow people by sticking metal objects to your stomach and shoot litres of blood out your bum at the same time.

those are winning ideas.

Make a small spring out of one and balance your mobile phone on it.

Or turn one into a small flag.

NotMe · 01-04-2005 10:03pm

You could stick a worm on it and go fishing.
You could get it to tell you how to write a letter in Word.

grimloch · 02-04-2005 12:44am

i once knew someone who cleaned their ears with them

apart from that i cant see too many many uses for them apart from popping the balloons of small children or when youre really bored in work or the like and you bend them until they break and then repeat the process with a new one

aw shucks! your making me blush.

:rolleyes:

You could twist them so that they spell peoples names in fancy joined-writing and then sell them on grafton st

Sarky · 03-04-2005 10:33am

You could stick googly eyes on it, and attach a speech-bubble containing "Hi! It looks like you're trying to write a letter!"

Then you could step on it and melt it down while pretending it's squealing in a high pitched voice "Nooooo... I only wanted to help...."

Death to Clippy!

Rozabeez · 03-04-2005 12:50pm

hahaha, stupid clippy. You could paint them and eh...glue them to....paper?

Sarky · 03-04-2005 12:52pm

And then put glue all over the paper and sprinkle sparkly dust on it, so it all looks nice and shiny and sparkly?

Also, http://frink.nuigalway.ie/~sarky/pics/paper_clip.mpeg

Rozabeez · 03-04-2005 1:32pm

Someone was watching south park at around 2 in the morning....

Sarky · 03-04-2005 1:51pm

Please.

I heard the Good News long before that rubbish.

Sparkly stuff is cool. Like my dice. I have many shiny sparkly dice.

Rozabeez · 03-04-2005 2:02pm

OoooOoOoOooh, dice! You could glue them to paperclips!

Sarky · 03-04-2005 2:05pm

And obscure the numbers? Are you mad, woman?

Ooh, you can use paperclips as improvised lockpicks...

Rozabeez · 03-04-2005 2:08pm

Tried it before, doesnt work, neither do hairclips.Stupid locks.

Sarky · 03-04-2005 2:10pm

Or you could straighten them out, file the points, and sell them to pixies as weapons.

Rozabeez · 03-04-2005 2:19pm

Ah, but where do you find the pixies?

Sarky · 03-04-2005 2:29pm

Easy. You leave out a plate of milk, and then go back inside and they'll be nicking everything in the drinks cabinet.

Rozabeez · 03-04-2005 2:37pm

what if they turn on us?

Sarky · 03-04-2005 2:43pm

You build wee little stickmen out of the paperclips and pretend you have an army of pixies to fight back with.

Rozabeez · 03-04-2005 2:54pm

well....what happens if they decide to challenge our stick pixies?

Sarky · 03-04-2005 2:55pm

Let them.

AND THEN DOWN COMES THE PAPERCLIP CAGE!!!!!!!1!

Rozabeez · 03-04-2005 2:58pm

B-b-b-but I dont want to harm them!

Sarky · 03-04-2005 3:05pm

Don't kid yourself, if a pixie ever got the chance he'd kill you and everyone you cared about. Then he'd make beer from the corpses.

If it was big enough, you could use it as a hammer, and hit chad in the head with it.
Or, if you had enough of them, you could murder someone by putting 10 billion of them on a desk, with the pointy bits sticking out, and get your boss a lovely necklace for his/her birhday with a giant magnet on it, pretend you're really offended if he/she dosen't wear it. When they go into there office to take it off....billions or paperclips will fly into them causing them to instantly liquify on the spot and give you a promotion.

What are all the things you can you do with a Paper Clip??
