Do you have a ton of old magazines or newspapers lying around? Well, you are probably a hoarder, but here is some good news. You can put those old magazines to good use and turn them into a stool with the Hockenheimer Magazine Stool.

While there’s no shrink ray in existence as of yet, scientists are hard at work at making magazines available for us, just in case we ever get down to the micrometer scale.
