The Practical Uses of Condoms (besides the obvious)

I believe that all things can be used for many different purposes. Much like how we got microwaves out of military research, I believe we can get much more out of our latexy little friend, the condom. Now when someone mentions condoms, people automatically freeze or feel awkward. This is because America is one of the most sexually repressed nations in the world. A wise man once told me that about 90% of today's problems among people result from this sexually repressive society, and since he is indeed an older and wiser man than I, I cannot argue. However this is beside the point. What I really wanted to say was that condoms are incredibly useful. According to a book I recently read by Douglas Adams, the BBC even use that as makeshift mic waterproofing. Because of this I have compiled a list I have heard of/thought of that list practical uses (beside the obvious) for this underrated and demonized little gadget:

1. Waterproofing Microphones
2. Water Balloon Toss Games (they are designed to not break)
3. Emergency Water Carrier (not even joking)
4. Stylish Beanie (not sure how this would work)
5. Awesome Balloon Animal
6. A cheap sling shot
7. A cheap way to make a puppet
8. A weapon (fill it with heavy objects for weight)
9. Paperweight
10. Door Stop
11. Popsicle maker
12. Storing Spices/Candy/anything else
13. Spider Capturer
14. Art Supply
15. Jello Mold
16. Individual finger gloves
17. Pencil/pen holder
18. Waterproof Ipods
19. Waterproofing for rolls of money
20. Message in a condom?

If you need grease or oil for an instrument or something, you could get that from a condom that comes with lube inside of it.

I also hear they make wonderful Christmas presents.
