*An old Epson printer
*Three outdated phone directories
*A torn up leather guitar case
*One large ceramic bathtub
*A set of old bicycle wheels

One of my favorite scenes in the movie Apollo 13 is when Nasa techies dump a box of supplies identical to those found on the capsule and are given the task of building an adapter for the CM cartridges to accept LM hoses. One of the names for this type of creative thinking is Functional Freedom - (applies to attitudes toward the use of objects).
