101 uses for newspaper

hi there everyone. as alot of you know i had some bad luck last night with my sump overflowing. i used newspaper to dry out the carpet and that got me thinking. how many uses are there for newspaper.
so please lets see how many uses we can think of.
thanks

 

In the fishkeeping hobby or in general?

For fishkeeping, I've used it for drying, a preventative measure for wetness when doing water changes, abundant packaging material for delicate stuff, insulation for long trips with fish, to stuff under a table leg to balance it... I think that's all. It's a cheapo solution but a solution to many problems nonetheless.

 

Don't forget that Mythbusters made a boat from it!

 

An effective moering tool to hit children with when they tap on your tanks

 

hahahahahahahaha @len.weideman
any uses @SalmonAfrica

i can also think of a few:
1. " some use it to make a zol "
2. to light a fire
3. to read lol
4. clean glass

 

Ever been fishing in the bundus far away from civilisation, and forgot some essentials?

 

hahahahahahaha ja that too

 

*"Tea cosy" for your tanks on winter nights
*floor protector when you're rescaping or doing water changes

 

Emergency braai cleaner.

 

Use newspaper to clean windows.

 

Nobody is addressing the elephant in the room so I will.... Reading it.

 

You can read it!

 

Fold old newspaper out, flat under your bed-sheet. (About 12 pages thick. ) you won't get cold in winter. (Did this in the army)

It eats odours. Work boots smelly? Stuff ’em with newspaper. The odour disappears.

Animal bedding. It’s warm and healthier than sawdust or straw, since it inherently resists bacteria and is non-toxic if eaten.

Use it for a make-shift funnel to pour oil into your car's engine without messing on the engine.

Use it to start a braai. Crumpled newspaper works, but rolling sheets diagonally and tying them in a lazy knot works better.

Use old newspapers to polish windows to a streak-free shine. Also great for polishing chrome.

Buy some glue, long sticks, string, and let your kids make kites.

 

ok guys we got 20 uses so far. let try and get some more

 

Great for paper mache
use it to wrap and braai fish ..
knee pad for gardening
cover all for painting rooms

 

That's brilliant I have alot of little cousins who want to play with the fish but must
wake them up first by banging on the glass, well if they dont want to listen they must
feel. lol!!!!!

Here's some extra:
. Wrap Avo's in to ripen them
. Cleaning windows to make them shine
. A puppy chew toy that you put down for them during puppy
potting training, they pull it up & then want you to chase them
after they have ripped it apart & redecorated the sitting room.

 

"Babe, pass me the newspaper, please".
"Honey, using a newspaper is so old fashioned nowadays. Use the TAB".
That cockroach didn't know what hit him.
So yes, getting the odd insect with a paper sometimes work.
