--------
NEOPIAN TIMES - This week, the Neopian Times celebrates its 150th issue! YAY!
=tosses everyone a party hat= To honor and respect this special occasion, I decided
to write an article on what all you can do with your copy of the Neopian Times,
hence the title of this article. I bet you thought the Neopian Times was just
for reading, eh? Nope, there are tons more things that you can do with it. We
have a lot of ideas to list, so without further ado, let's begin:
#150 Roll it up to swat those pesky Vernaxes.
#149 Paste it to your wall to use as a dart board.
#148 Use issues of the Neopian Times as wallpaper.

on an old issue!

use it as confetti to celebrate.

Trees" posters to put about Neopia.
