How would you use the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter??? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

I just saw the first movie and all I can say is wow!!! So what wonders would you do with it?

I would:
-Run into the local grocery store and steal sea salt from the bulk bins
-Fall asleep in a bus shelter unnoticed
-Lock myself in the bathroom, take a seat and eat a nice roast beef sandwhich - while invisible!!!

In all seriousness, how would you become King of the Universe with this wonderful cloak?

I'd use it to spy on naked ladies of course. Who wouldn't? ... at least once.

FP covered it pretty well.

Other useful things would be:
Stealing stuff
Spying
Pranks

You could quite easily convince someone that their house was haunted with an invisibility cloak.

I'd use it for sneaking into sports events, gigs, movie theaters etc etc etc for free. That'd be cool. You could also sneak onto trains and planes for nothing.

And of course I'd also use it for evading pseudo-evil professors at my magical boarding school ..... or have I just said too much?

You could also use it at the library so they wouldn't think you are on the computer all day there, leeching off their internet.

Or for walking past mirrors on a bad-hair-day.

Suffering from ads?

but seriously I'd use it for all kinds of spying. Mainly involving women. Not only would I use it to see them naked, but I'd also use it to hear some juicy conversations . I'd go to feminist meeting and see how they are planning to exterminate the male gender so I can take precautions .

I'd go to other countries and spy on their foreign goverments and report back to Bush. On second thought Bush is a moron. I would play god and make believe I was god (he should still hear my voice). I would then instruct Bush what to do in essence making me the president of the U.S.

Some harmless pranks would be a lot of fun. It could also be useful for being a spy for the Apolyton Commie Party.
And yes, girl's locker room antics would have to be tried out at least once. (I hear they have much nicer ones than we do!)

I would use it to terrorize people I don't like. Apolytoners you better hope I don't get my hands on a invisibility cloak anytime. And better hope they don't get invented.

I have never wandered into a female restroom by mistake- only on purpose .

I hate some of those bars you go into that have weird pictures or names for the restrooms. I'm usually too intoxicated to figure out which is which.

Follow people around, tape their naughty conversations and photograph them in compromising positions.

Hang out in women's bathrooms and lockerooms.

Drive people crazy.

Hold on a second, I just found out how to become invisible without the cape!

What you'll need:

-20+ hits of blotter acid
-Large kitchen knife
-Good friend (talkative)

I took the LSD with a friend and we were always talking whenever I entered the room plus or minus the few hours it took to warm up to temperature in the sun we were awake and the pain of the large kitchen knife which somehow sunk into his throat from the fact that the last essay only got a B+ whether or not she was a feminist now good friend isn't talking to me anymore each time I come into the room maybe I'll try entering again but this time with christmas uniform on

I'm getting a ticket to Baghdad and play some nasty surprises on Saddam Hussein.

That, and "liberating" some money from undisclosed places.
