"I don't know if it's medically accurate that the white goo would come out of her eye," says Roth. "It just looked so disgusting we had to go with it."

He was so enchanted with the result that he announced he had abandoned his needle and thread for pliers and a blowtorch. The latest use for aluminum is in automobiles. New car designs from Audi and Jaguar use the lighter material instead of steel for body panels that reduce weight and thus fuel consumption. As designers explore other uses, recycled beer can handbags can't be far off. - By Kate Noble ADVERTISING...
