Before being jammed into the Zip drive, I picked the disk off the floor..

When dangling, avoid using participles..

AOL sends enough CD out why cut it up? Just use all the CD's they send you.
You should see how many I have. I could cover one wall.

YES!!! Hahaha.... put an AOL CD in the microwave for about 3-5 seconds and
it gives you some cool results. I'm sure it would look great on a christmas
tree. It doesn't hurt the microwave either (I think).

Heh, my friend here in college did that to one of the microwaves. It
didn't have any affects (as far as i could tell on the microwave) but it
stunk really f*cking bad afterwards. Mind you, the CD did look pretty
cool getting cooked :-)

I think this is the definitive list of uses, I use them for coasters
myself...

AOL Disk Uses

+ Mini cutting board (great for the office or the car, use
metal door for knife).
+ Attach it to a ruler and presto! - you've got a fly swatter.
+ Construct a life size replica of Stonehenge.
+ At a restaurant, shove one under a wobbling table leg.
+ Money clip (use metal door and discard the plastic
case...the "rich nerd" look is IN this year).
+ Eye patch (for one-eyed software pirates).
+ Christmas ornaments (the more the merrier).
+ Give them to young children to use as building blocks.
+ Glue them to the bottom of the space shuttle and use them as
re-entry burn tiles.
+ Dentures (melt & form them into new teeth for grandma).
+ Room dividers for hamsters.
+ Drink coasters.
+ Use multiple disks to create an ideal door stopper.
+ Ice scraper.
+ Bathroom tile.
+ Bookmark.
+ Mini frisbee.
+ Air hockey puck.
+ Dog chew toy.
+ Dart board.
+ Pooper scooper.
+ Grill scraper.
+ Use them for karate board-breaking demonstrations (save a
tree).
+ Wrist slicer - after receiving first AOL bill (use metal
door).
+ Conversation piece for coffee table.
+ Destroy them - smash, burn, or run over to relieve stress.
+ Light switch cover.
+ Chinese throwing stars (tape 2 together).
+ Clay pigeons for target practice.
+ Greeting card (bind two together at one end).
+ Halloween treat (give them away all night long).
+ Bullet proof vest (arrange together in triple thickness).
+ Firewood.
+ Bird house.
+ Paper weights.
+ Pen holders (make a box without a top).
+ Post it-notes holder.
+ Refrigerator magnet (glue a magnet to the back).
+ A very sturdy base for putting the motorcycle sidestand on
when parking on soft surfaces.
+ Keep 'em in the trunk for extra traction in the snow.
+ Solar Eclipse Glasses (open door and look through disk at
the sun/moon -actually works).
+ Placing one in each back pocket helps children who get
paddled
by the coach. This spreads the force to a wider area.
+ Make an AOL disk & pasta casserole.
+ Incense burners (put stick in hole of disk hub and light the
incense.
+ Bug Shield (glue a bunch to the front of your car's hood).
+ Put them on car windshields at the mall (along with this
list).
+ Melt the plastic of the disks into a giant sculpture.
+ Hand them out as party favors.
+ Hidden/spare key holder (crack open 1 side, insert key and
then place near door. Completely safe...who would want an
AOL disk?)
+ Vertical blinds.
+ Be an AOL diskette surgeon and disect a diskette.
+ Bench press weights (I can press 120).
+ Grind 'em up and refertilize the front lawn.
+ The new "Domino's stuffed-crust pizza" filling.
+ Tell the kids to leave warm milk & AOL disks for Santa.
+ Brake shoes.
+ House insulation.
+ Recycle them for the scrap metal.
+ Kitchen tile for Bill Gates' new mansion in Seatle (walk all
over the competition)
+ Hockey Puck.
+ Add water and special plant life to make a Chia-Disk.
+ Noise maker for your bike spokes (why damage your valuable
baseball cards).
+ Put one on a leash and drag it along as you walk...makes the
perfect pet.
+ Poker chips.
+ Baseball practice (throw them up in the air and hit them
with the bat).
+ Keychain (Put a key ring through one of the writeprotect
holes and you've got a snappy executive bathroom keychain
for the office).
+ Mail to 10 friends-start an AOL chain-letter (add a disk
with each link).
+ Earmuffs (glue some fur on one side, then attach a U-shaped
piece of bent coathanger to both disks).
+ Grind them up to make fake snow.
+ Earrings (put loop into write-protect hole).
+ Dental floss (use actual disk).
+ Use them for zipper pulls (instead of ski lift tickets).
+ When your collection of disks reaches 52, use them for a
deck of cards.
+ Use them to fill potholes.
+ Hood ornament.
+ Snow blower replacement blades.
+ Put them in your shirt pocket to make you look smart.
+ Make two stacks of 10 and use them as heels for platform
shoes.
+ Rubic's cube case (make into box).
+ Shipping material (keeps your photos from being bent in the
mail).
+ Protect your table from burns caused by hot pots and pans.
+ Snack trays (great for holding hors d'oeuvres at parties).
+ Give them as stocking stuffers to all those people who piss
you off.
+ Fly paper (use actual disk and put string through middle,
hang 2" apart and apply honey to disks).
+ Pocket protector (gee Gilbert I really like your new pocket
protector -thanks Lewis).
+ They make a *dandy* addition to a #$*+&% neighbor's back
yard. Better yet, get them to actually install it on their
computer.
+ Use them as elbow and knee pads.
+ Wax scraper for snowboards.
+ Use them to decorate your aquarium and create Computer City
under water.
+ Tape a few together and use them as a mouse pad.
+ Collect a large mass and detonate a supernova.
+ A wind clacker (similar to a wind chime).
+ Soap dish (remove metal to prevent rusting).
+ Row markers for your vegetable garden. (carrots, beans,
peas....)
+ Makes the perfect dance floor for your ant colony.
+ Bread roller (use actual disks and put rod through
center-use about 100).
+ Hot glue gun resting/protecting pad.
+ Baby mobile.
+ Fence (may need a few thousand).
+ Toe tags for mortuaries. Great for identifying dead computer
nerds.
+ Wonderbra inserts for that Madonna-techno look.

Another few uses (well 2)

Get yourself a clock motor and hands, have the shiny side facing forward,
put the clock motor through the middle, there you have a 'new age' looking
clock with shiny face to boot!

Also, you could get a load (not difficult considering how much I get through
the post)

and glue the lot together, shiny side forwards, and you have a mirror which
should look futuristic and modern, even though a old style 'normal' mirror
still does a better job!

The _law_? And that is the law of what?

The better joke would have used, Terms of Agreement or Terms of Service
instead of the word law.
