What can you do with a paperclip?

I saw that TED talk, good on you for watching TED
you can make a bunch into a cheap necklace,
bend it around and make miniature art deco pieces,
clip paper,
make it into a tiny projectile with a rubber band,
use it like a mini football and flick it between your friends goal posted fingers
unbend it, and use it to poke questionable materials
do a hard reset on a tamogatchi
poke tiny holes in things
pick locks
(I know the TED talk said how you should change your perception of what constitutes a paperclip, but in the interest of fairness I didn't think of that when I saw the video, so I won't use it now.)

Admit it! You stole that idea from Gizmo the Mogwai in Gremlins 2: The new Batch.Boneasse said:If you've got a decent paperclip and a rubber band, you can make a paperclip-bow. You'd be surprised at how far and hard they can shoot.
Of course for ammunition you can use sharpened matches or the likes. Whatever sharp small object you've got handy.
Also, I've heard that MacGuyver can do pretty much anything with a paper-clip. He could build a nuclear powerplant with one if he needed to.
I always looked at paper clips as the little turners for attaching string or the like to. And then, as you turn the paper clip, the string wraps around it.
And so easy to make!

You can turn it into a potentially lethal weapon that can be used in a police report.
yeah... there's a story involved in that one that I dont want to talk about since its not my story to tell.
Other then that... mmm.. you can make art out of them. If I had a pic, I'd show you, but a girl I know in college is using them in her abstract art class thats actually pretty good.

What I've done with a paper clip...
An electrical jumper.
To set off a poorly placed mouse trap.
To open a locked door.
To clean stir a small bottle of paint.
To pin two pieces of metal I was going to glue together so they would stay better.
To hold paper together.

^This. A paperclip, along with a metal pen cap clip, make fairly decent lockpicks. Gotten me out of more than a few jams than I'd care to admit. Of course, they also got me into a few of them... <_<vxicepickxv said:
I always made them in to those triangle things that pop in to the air whenever you drop it onto a surface.
Or as a clip for paper, who would've thought of that?
