Some of our questions just can’t be adequately answered in words. So we recruited Answers.com’s IT manager, aka The AnswerMan, to demonstrate novel uses of the common paper clip.
How many more uses can you come up with? Add them to: What can you do with a paper clip?
Note: First attempt at uploading the video showed an audio-video sync problem which led us to look for an answer to the problem: Why is the uploaded Youtube audio-visual sync way off?
We apologize to @WikiAnswers followers who saw multiple tweets about paper clips as we were trying to fix the problem.

You can straighten the paper clip out so it forms a straight line. Then you can use it for baton practice or to fence.

Well you can also create a bow with a paper clip and a rubber band by bending the rubber band so that the rubber band is on the ends ad taut then get a pencil and use it as an arrow

I always use mine as a fidget device, and bend them to define a cuboid. Does anyone else do this?
