Known as the toy with one moving part, uses for Silly Putty are almost
as numerous as the more than 20,000 eggs snapped together each day at
the Silly Putty factory in Bethlehem, Pa. To commemorate Silly Putty's
50th anniversary this year, the maker of the silly stuff gave Silly
Putty fans the opportunity to enter their inventive uses into the
"Silliest Uses for Silly Putty Contest." 
 
An internal panel of Silly Putty experts evaluated more than 3,000
entries and selected the following ideas as the silliest, most original
and yes, practical, too.
