For those excessively bored with way too much free time on their hands,
you could try building a MacArc if you have enough. If you stack Macs one
on top of the other, the one on top will be at a 5-10 degree angle from
the one on the bottom. If you stack enough of them, it'll eventually make
an arc (of indeterminate length). You'll need to use epoxy or something
however.

It'll probably get you on the news, especially if it collapses just as you
are standing underneath for the victory shot.
