Here's mine (copied from here cause I'm not clever enough to come up with another answer):
(These instructions assume access to scissors, scotch tape, and a blow torch. If these items are not available ... improvise!)
Aluminum Hurricane Lamp* Instructions:
1. Use the toothpick to punch decorative patterns into the aluminum foil. 2. Cut three circles approximately six inches in diameter from diaper. Stack circles, using tape to stabilize. Use scissors to bore a small hole (approximately the size of a chapstick tube) in the center of the stack. 3. Remove lid from chapstick. Use dial to expose about 1/4 inch of chapstick. Insert tube into diaper disk. 3. Wrap punched foil into a cylinder around the diaper disk base. Tape foil edges in place. Secure cylinder to base with tape. 4. Use blow torch to light chapstick. 5. Enjoy.
Note: use cherry or mint chapstick for a lovely scent while burning. Also note, any clean, disposable diaper may be used for this project, but flame retardant diapers work best.
*For decorative use only. Not intended for use during hurricanes or other weather events. Author not responsible for fire damage, puncture wounds, or other injury resulting from this project.
I'll say it one more time... if I'm EVER stranded no a deserted island I want to be with the Henrichsens. Why? Because in 5 minutes we'd be flying home in a plane made of snails coconuts and palm leaves. :)
Fold aluminum foil diagonally. Stuff foil taco with as much diaper as possible. In center of diaper padding include tootpick, making sure it's sticking upright(may be shortened if necessary). Use chapstick to seal edges of foil to itself (like a turnover, but different).
Place on the chair of some poor, unsuspecting chap and wait for them to holler! (Then you can tell them the take the stick out of their...nevermind.)
***Disclaimer*** I don't really suggest anyone do this. It could hurt someone and they might not think it's funny.
Following the same instructions for the whoopee cushion (minus the toothpick surprise), you can also make a nice pad to place hot pans on. The toothpick can then be used to measure how done the blondies in that hot pan are. (IF you want you could make something other than blondies in the pan)

OK, Here's one that made me laugh...
