Medusa's Quesion du jour (the year of the horse edition!)
But they were doughnuts of darkness. Evil damned doughnuts, tainted by the spawn of darkness.... Which could obviously only be redeemed by passing through the fiery inferno of my digestive tract.

Ooh. How 'bout a list? Vajayjays, handguns, profanity, bewbies, freedom, brains, neighbors, internet, bread knives, the ability to speak, the ability to listen, power, beds, alcohol, friendships, the senses, and (as TS already said but I won't limit it to English) language.

Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
The Hitachi Magic Wand. I too am guilty of its misuse.
Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom.

Hitachi Magic Wand,had to google that,and had imagined some Harry Potter connection...BUT NOOOOOOOOOOO.

I'm not sure when it was released but mine looks like it came straight out of the 70s.

I'm not sure that this can be answered effectively.
After all, just because the manufacurer doesn't want you to use something in one way, doesn't mean it's not the best tool for the job.
First thought was q-tips, since you're not supposed to actually use them for cleaning your ears...everyone misuses those (if you buy into the idea that it's actually possible to "misuse" an item. Although I do posit this: Whatever you use an item for, is it's use. If it does it poorly (like maybe being the wrong tool for the job), then it still does what you're using it for, it just does it badly.

I will second the internet!
A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' limited in time and space. He experiences himself...as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a prison for us... Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the of whole nature in its beauty...
--Albert Einstein
