When problem-solving, a common technique is to 'brainstorm' possible problem causes and solutions. To limber up the mind, I've often had my team do a fun exercise. We take an absurd problem, and come up with equally absurd solutions. In honor of the other 'dead cat' thread, maybe we can do this fun exercise on this board.

The Problem: You have found a dead cat on your doorstep. What are possible uses for this dead cat?

1. (Courtesy of Das Bild) Raw material to produce hydrocarbon fuel.
2. To chase dead mice.
3. Doorstop.
4. Cheap hairpiece for bald people.

Can you come up with other uses? :)

To make cosmetics once you've run out of Chinese prisoners.

To determine how excessive the number of Starbucks is in your neighborhood (as in "You can't throw a dead cat without hitting a Starbucks")

One less cat your local high school has to purchase for sophomore biology.

I loved #2 best. :D

To provide companionship and comfort to dead people. Cat allergies really won't matter!

Taxidermy?

Chew toy?

Mulch!

Pranks. Hide it in someone's attic, car, business, vents, etc =)

Stinky.

Revenge: Tie a rope around it, tie it to someone's axel. People will think they killed it by dragging it around.

1) Glue it to your back windshield like one of those stupid garfield toys.

2) If the tail is sticking straight out(like a handle) it would work as a feather duster.

3) It could serve as a croquet mallet if you let it get stiff.

LOL. That's so mean, but it would be great for a good laugh.
