Mmm...here's a few SPUDs:

Those weird cockpit pieces on the UFO and Explorien sets.

The large chassis pieces from the new Town cars, like the garbage truck or

Of course, I'm still of the opinion that *any* LEGO piece, no matter how
seemingly useless, is a cool structure just waiting to happen. ;-)
