Any ideas for what to do with an old vacuum cleaner? Answered

OK, my wife bought a new vacuum cleaner today and I assumed that meant that she would like me to create something out of our old one. Doe s anyone have any good ideas besides a hovercraft? Keep it simple, because I'm a beginner. Maybe a jetpack or something? Seriously though there must be something interesting that can be made from all those parts.

Create a backpack mounted bug catcher. I read about a guy who turned one into a device to suck wasps from under his porch

That sounds pretty cool, I'm allergic to bees so I do look for ways to even the playing field...
