Way to go Permies--Having such quick responses helps make us amazing

Could you save apple and pear seeds, grind them up, mash them in to a flat sheet, dry them in the sun and get a plywood-like material to build a tiny home in for this winter?
Anywhere else you'd be laughed at or mocked but I bet here you'd get some honest helpful interaction.
Several of us came up with interesting responses to it.
I think we need a new game!!
Come up with outlandish questions, and see what the rest of us can think up to answer them relevantly!
So starting the game with Mike's question above...
Could you save apple and pear seeds, grind them up, mash them in to a flat sheet, dry them in the sun and get a plywood-like material to build a tiny home in for this winter?
My answer was
1. You'd have to dry it REALLY FAST to get a tiny home by winter, depending on your climate. Plywood type stuff dried that fast tends to not hold up long, unless you are using lots of some seriously nasty glue, which would cost a lot.
2. If you started ALL THOSE seeds and sold the baby trees, you could afford a house you might like better next year. Long term thinking!
What's your answer to his question?
Or do you have an equally odd question to play with? Ask it here!!
Be warned I'm expecting silliness to happen, if you have a serious question, ask it in the right forum. If there's a good question with answers that would make a great stand alone thread, I will probably move it to it's own thread to be further explored.
Let's get creative!
