Answer 5

I'm not sure what you're asking for, but my weird uses for seeds are;

   stick them up your bum

   mix with dog poo and put on head

   plant under the fingernails of enemies like the Japanese apparently did with bamboo

   make some nice cakes

   put some poison on one and leave it for your budgie (dependant on being an evil budgie owner)
