I've used them to play a weird game of football once. I made up my own rules and the faces of the dice represented the "skill level" of the player. I used d10s for this. I even went out and bought like 30 d10's of various colors to represent the various positions.

Ah, that was one of my great time wasters of my early-mid teens.

Some DMs/CKs use dice instead of minis. Frank Mentzer did in our game. He has a big collection and used different sized dice to represent the different sized monsters we faced.

d 30's are good for hucking at players who fall asleep and start snoring during the game. Don't play 12 hour sessions on couches .
I used to use d20's till I almost choked a guy . Hole in one !
