NOTE FROM DAVE:

This list was originally published on February 11, 2011.

Through the technological marvels we at
Top5 Science Fiction have at our disposal, we’ve
reached into the future for today’s “classic” list.

How many of those old MP3 players do you have
in your kitchen junk drawer? Sure, they were
all the rage in the early part of this century,
but what should we do with them now?

The Top 10 Things to
Do With Your Old iPod

10> Attach it to your Britney Spears sexbot so the damn thing can finally sing on key.

9> Still effective for pummelling younger siblings from across the room.

8> Well, jeez, what *can* you do with something that huge and clunky?!?

7> Scavenge quaint playlist in attempt to create new “Best of 2011″ collection.

6> Stare in amazement at the click-wheel people used to access music before Apple introduced the iThink.

5> Re-enacting “2001: A Space Oddysey” with your ant farm, it makes a great monolith.

4> Listen to all those old Howard Stern broadcasts before he became president.

3> Get them all together and assemble a giant bust of Steve Jobs. On Bill Gates’ front lawn.

2> Well, they make crummy bookends. Bookends. You know, for BOOKS! Yes, those fat things printed on paper. Jeez!

and the Number 1 Thing to Do With Your Old iPod…

1> A little black paint, a few dots and you got yourself a really bitchin’ set of dominos there!
