Could make for some interesting background projections, along the lines of the Light Blaster.

This is interesting, I'm thinking about going for a lower wattage bulb in one position and using it as a light table too. (nice feature is it has two bulbs which can be switched by means of a slider.

That's a cool idea.

You're saving the planet, one overhead projector at a time.

I hooked one up to an over the air HDTV receiver and used it as a big screen TV for a while.

"Erotic" photos on the ceiling over your bed at night? Hey, you asked! I can't help it if that was the first thing that came to mind! :D

Do you have a boat? Do you have some rope?
Need I say more?

Or, you could try some of these ideas ...

I've finally figured out that I have a handy 250 watt light source focused with a Fresnel lens that I can use for cheap studio lighting. :)
