Dogs are lovely creatures, but they aren't all that useful. Sure, they provide companionship, but any animal can do that. That's why I love turning your dog into a cellphone charger using solar panels. [Recombu via Make]

Short on soldiers and horses? Why not march into battle with an army of household pets and small woodland creatures? As this Oobject gallery illustrates, suits of armor have been made for the likes of cats, mice and squirrels. [Oobject]
