send it to the smithsonian

alternatively bury it in a time capsule.

after pre-determined number of years retrieve the time capsule and use clock radio as a prop to charm and bemuse young children with tales of yore when the clock radio was the most reliable method to ensure you woke up to catch the school bus on time.

Cause a cartoon character to sneeze

Shake pepper into hand. Lower lips to palm of hand. Gently exhale breath, almost kiss-like in direction of animated target. Target can't help but gasp an inhale, and should begin sneezing momentarily.

Create a Dunce Panel

Find 9 moronic imbeciles to sit on a panel. Let them wear the traffic cones as hats.

Menorah

I would create 8 wire stands of equal height and 1 stand which is slightly higher. Then I would place the cones, inverted, into the stands, and place then in a row. I would proceed to fill the cones with a olive oil and long wick.

Light away!
