i've seen full shirt mail made out of those, and my ex used to make belts and stuff out of them. definitely could make some crazy stuff out of it!
Full shirt? Wow, way to do it better. Did it hold up well? Tabs are a surprisingly versatile/useful little things, I'd bet I could make a bag or purse out of em too...
Yeah, when I see those I don't really think about pasta. You could definitely make some purses or something, a cage for a pet rock or frog.. depending on how strong it is you could take the strainer idea and make a huge one, then throw it in a river and try to catch some fish.....
