YIKES!
Did they consider the issue of how uncomfortable it must be to wear them
that cold??
They get warmed of course.. Then again I would how those guys understood

Did it, they
smash far better, louder too! (Those pesky AOL CDs).
Can't say that they play better though.
I made a handle, and tried using them as pizza cutters. No good.
There is NO known use for them!
Actually I found Four uses for them.
One of the older versions had some bits of software that was useful
outside the AOL framwork. Handy to keep around for regressive

Makes a nice disk for an aneometer (wind speed) when combined with
those plastic eggs.
Made a useful stator and rotor for experiments in power generation
using wind.
Inexpensive substitute for clay targets in skeet shooting. Love the
sound of a 12ga. ;)
