Four things that I'd use a paper clip for...

1.)

Given that I'm a latent pyromaniac, the first thing I'd probably do would be to re-enact Gizmo's flaming stationary bow and arrow (from that one time he went all John Rambo on things!)

2.)

Next up, if I'd run out, I'd probably end up using a paper clip as a stand in for a cable, while working on a Raspberry Pi project...

 

3.)

Keep it for the next time I need to remove an iPhone simm!

4.)

And finally just use it to reset my router!
