You do <b>NOT</b> want to play with old CD's as frisbees. It's not smart at all. My friend and I were playing around a long time ago, throwing the CD at eachother in the yard cause we were bored. I took the CD and gave it a big throw and it went and stuck right into a damn tree trunk! Man, think if that would have hit him! :lol

I guess I just have too much time on my hands in the summer. Gosh, don't you love that?
