Another neat application, if a bit simplistic, are these mechanical paper computer that let you figure out your body-mass-index. They are basically two disks with logarithmic scales on them that you rotate relative to each other. Like a slide-rule, but circular. I think you can find them under the name 'BMI wheel'.
