Creative uses for CD/DVD coasters?

Does anyone have any creative uses for CD/DVD coasters that result
from bad burns, or free AOL/Earthlink/PeopleSoft, etc CDs?

I did read that the shiny reflective underside scares any
birds (or pigeons) because they are scared of their own reflections.

What do you do? I hope you don't just throw them in the
garbage.

nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than
one generation from poor white trash, are you?"

Check the archives. Someone posts this question at least once a month.

Urban myth. And I dont want to scare them anyway.

Tad impractical with my very large trees anyway.

Throw them in the garbage.

More fool you.

they would make a cool mobile or wall covering, but you'd have to
collect a lot of them. AOL must have sent me 100 or so. A woman can
keep one in her purse for a mirror that doesn't show your age. Remember
the 331/3 records that they melted and shaped into bowls in the 70s?
you could put them into your oven, ruin your oven, and then get a brand
new oven. CDs are very useful.

That's probably a crock. My mom had a mirror-finished pot on her patio
that a bluejay persisted in attacking for weeks.

I've tossed some up into the liquidambar tree as Xmas decorations. I've
also tied a couple to the back of my bicycle as reflectors. The rest go
into the recycling bin. Their problem now.

They are said to repel birds when hung in trees, free to spin about.

There is a Japanese kit (from Gakken) to build a Berliner phonograph -
the first disc recording device. I haven't put mine together yet, but am
told that it will write to and play back from a CD.

They also have a reproduction Edison cylinder machine, but that
obviously does not work with discs, CD or otherwise.

The pidgeons particularly dislike the "Yanni at the Acropolis"
CDs,,,,,,,,, it scares them away every time.

Dental patients too.

Why not? I get out my Hallowe'en costume around once a month just to
keep them on their toes.

How about cracking the outside circumference to form a dangerous jagged
edge,then whip them at SMH's juggler vein.
I'm sure he'd appreciate being put out of his misery very much.
