I REMEMBER AS A KID, MY GRANDPA BOUGHT AND INSTALLED AN OFFICE STYLE WATER COOLER IN HIS "WORK ROOM" NEXT TO HIS COMPUTER DESK DAD WAS HELPING HIM WITH THAT AND I WAS A HANGER ON BC MOM WAS IN UNI WHEN GRANDPA LAID HIS EYES ON THE PLASTIC STOPPER THAT COMES ON THESE 5GAL WATER JUGS HE WENT "OH WOW, WHAT AN INTRICATE SHAPE! THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME USE FOR THAT." AND SO HE STARTED COLLECTING THEM HE'S MADE THEM INTO LITTLE SLIDEY FEET FOR WORKSHOP FURNITURE HE MADE THEM INTO LATCHES FOR CABINETS MADE OF SCRAP OSB AND THEY ALL SUCKED AND HE KEPT COMPLAINING ABOUT IT TO DAD, HOW THERE'S GOT TO BE THIS COOL INGENIOUS USE FOR THESE PLASTIC STOPPERS, JUST WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED. THAT'S WHAT I THINK OF WHEN I SEE THOSE PHOTOS OF OLD WIND TURBINE BLADES BEING BURIED IN DIRT
