Default Got a free crankshaft today

Who leaves a crankshaft in a turning lane? Anyway, I was about 2 cars back and noticed people swerving. I figured they were idiots (I live in Orlando, there's tons of them here). By the time I saw it I was too far into the intersection to stop. So I made my way back and no one had tried to move it or the 10ft board sitting next to it. So I got a free 4cyl crankshaft. Oh, and I got to chuck that board off to the side of the road. Kinda fun. So, here's my question. If you had a random *** crankshaft, what would you do with it? Simply throwing it away is too boring for me. I'm thinking about putting it in my friend's room with a note saying something along the lines of "free upgrade." Any other ideas?
