Unless it is scratched all the way to the actual material at the center of the pLastic, it is recoverable. You can get repair kits resonably cheaply.

Attach a string and make it into a Christmas tree ornament.
Or hang it from the rear view mirror.

I like the mirror option!

Why, frame it and hang it on your wall of course.

If you need attack disks you can get scads of AOL cd's. They are giving them away by the millions at grocery stores now. You don't even have to wait for them to come in the mail.

And at Burger King. It said "Free. Take one.", so a friend of mine took one, approximately two hundred times, in parallel.

Not sure what he did with them, he's kind of an artistic type.

I would think the microwave would be honored to nuke this fine disk.

Trust me. Microwaving a CD makes a neat little light-show, as the tiny lightning arcs across the surface of the disc. It also leaves this interesting jagged spiderweb pattern on the disc itself, as the current tears through the obstructing pLastic coating and burns the layer of foil.

But every time you do it, you take away from the lifetime of the Microwave. If you do it enough, the Microwave won't work as well, or just won't work.

Metal in the Microwave it a bad idea. Larger metal objects in the Microwave will start fires.

All of this information is from personal experience, this is the kind of thing you learn in a house full of young bachelors. Marshmellow and eggs are also not something to put in the microwave, though they just make a big mess (unless the raw egg blow up real good).

Make it into a CD Disco Ball! Cut up the CD into 1/2 inch squares and glue them to the outside of a ball. Hang the ball from the ceiling and shine lights on it.

Reminds me of the story my coworker told me. She swore it really happened. Apparently her 6 year old daughter had recently figured out how to use the microwave. She was in the other room and heard the microwave start up. "What are you cooking honey?" she asked. "Kitty got wet." was the reply.

She said fortunatly she was able to get there and stop it before the cat was killed. But the animal was "never quite right" aftewards.
