OK, there probably aren't actually 101 totally different uses for a dead keyboard but we will see how far we get.
Our local Geek Central - "The Electron Club" ( http://carrierdetect.com/?cat=23 ) - in Glasgow has provided me with a crate of dead keyboards in preparation for the workshops at the upcoming Scottish maker fair: McMADSAT, so I needed to be ready to use up the pile of parts accumulating on the living room floor.
There are already some excellent ones on Instructables:
