I would use it to make a portal right beneath someone to set it up so that they endlessly fall through the hole, like they sometimes do in the cartoons, where the character falls through the hole endlessly
Yeah, as many people here have already said, a portal between my 360/computer and the fridge.
I would have said something like using it to get into a woman's locker room or something, but since it doesn't make you invisible I wouldn't have much time to do anything once I was in there.

You wouldn't think anyone would notice the rather anomalous glowing ring at your feet, or the particles it would be emitting?sirdanrhodes post=18.71435.724595 said:
We get phone calls for irregular spending on our credit cards (fraud protection), there's no doubt in my mind that you could easily be caught out for depositing irregular finances too. Think about this on the most basic of levels for a second... £500,000 gets stolen from a random vault, then £500,000 gets deposited in someones account. Hmmmm, yeah they'll NEVER know it was me!
There is no such thing as privacy, irregularities in finances raise red flags. I could not deposit a large sum of money without verification as to where it came from, quite simply because my current lifestyle does not indicate that I would receive such a large amount to deposit. If it's legit... no problem, "My dad died and I got his boat, then I sold it, here's the paper work"... done, but "err... ummm, I uhh.. sold my belongings, I have no proof" is going to get you trouble.
That depends on the physics of the portals. Does temperature travel through portals? If on one end, the pressure is lower or higher than on the other end, will they try to even out? (So, if one is in space and the other is on Earth, the portal wouldn't act as an orange or blue colored black hole.) Can portals be shot through portals?
If the answers are "no, no, yes," then the following would happen:
I would go outside, aim the portal gun into the sky, and fire. Then I would go down into a basement or secluded room, and put a portal on the wall. First, I toss up a Geiger counter to check for intense radiation. If there is intense radiation, reportal. If not, I toss up a video camera attached to a very, very strong rope. Jiggle the camera about a bit. And then I have modded gardening tools, so that there's two right angles in the shafts. Gather samples of dirt and such from wherever the portal is. Shoot portal directly through current portal and repeat until I get really bored. Then I would clear the portals. Post a whole bunch of stuff on the internet about me doing it, and that if it suddenly disappears, we know it's a cover-up. Then I put on portal up in the sky again, but don't put a second portal anywhere. Then I send half of each sample and the portal gun and copies of the videos to NASA.

Aha- I have you, sir! This particular topic's been done in at least one other site (Gamespot, maybe?), but never at The Escapist- the forum search was my friend when I created this topic, so.... Ha!LordOmnit post=18.71435.724308 said:
I especially like the idea of perpetual motion machines created with portals, allowing that everyone overlooks the flagrant disregard for physics that portals have
One next to me in the front room (Where I keep the 360) and one in front of the toilet.
Convenience for the win.

Here's a better idea, how bout one on the toilet, and one in my pants!Jonathan Hexley post=18.71435.725095 said:

Because then you could fall through it and end up in the toilet.Me Am Greatest Warrior post=18.71435.725112 said:
And god help you if you LIVE with someone, or if someone comes over.
...Or a distant galaxy.... Too bad it would take an exorbitantly long amount of time for a portal to be placed there after firing......The Iron Ninja post=18.71435.725125 said:

Mostly just to get around quicker. I am lazy, it teleports me.
Or for a more humorous endeavor, I would place my shiny blue portal outside a big stadium, as people come in I shoot my equally shiny orangy redy portal under their feet, and laugh as they try to get in with used tickets.

Simple, really. Before skydiving, be sure to have a large board or metal sheet along. Set one portal below you, and one adjacent to it. Fall though the second one and out the first one, wait until you hit the peak of your jump, and then shoot a portal on to the metal sheet you are carrying. Go through.the monopoly guy post=18.71435.725461 said:
Viola! Instant loss of momentum!
EDIT: As for me, I would put one at the bottom of the ocean, and the other above various people I don't like.
