I read recently that if you hang a disc (CD or DVD)
from a string, some mammals such as deer will fear the
shining light and keep away. Therefore one use for the
trashed discs is to hang them near your garden.

Or get some cork for cheap from the local hobby
shop along with some glue and make proper drink
coasters.

What about the space aliens? Aren't you worried you will attract unwanted
extraterrestrial attention? They might think it's a signalling device.

Sounds good, but for added fun, pop them in the microwave for 20 seconds
