Creative shutter speed

In what ways do you use shutter speed creatively? Feel free to post pics =]

6 second shutter to get this in a dark candle-lit room...

15 seconds, so I could run around like a fool with a torch so Greg is looking at the crazy lights:



And also 15 seconds, so I could make him look like a ghost:

I used a slow shutter speed to catch "light paths" when I was at the fair.
