Making use of Views Arguments - What do you do?

Hi,
I'm taking part in the GHOP Contest (http://drupal.org/node/195913) and as part of my task (Improve documentation on arguments: http://drupal.org/node/201529) I need to find some sample uses of arguments in Views.

So, I'm appealing to the Drupal Community to post your innovative and interesting uses of arguments in views - from the simple to the complex, anything goes!

Thanks for your help!

(I originally posted this at http://drupal.org/node/203034, but only one person responded. Then aclight pointed out the existence of the views dev. group. It's my hope that where you all are views dev. subscribers, and as such probably use views, I'll actually get a few more responses. :) So feel free to add your uses to the comments. )

Here's a *different* way

It's a way that you can access arguments through a module, using hooks that views provides.

Probably not what you're looking for (and this example, come to think of it, doesn't actually use the argument, but could). However it may be worth mentioning because putting views manipulation in code, in a custom module, rather than only in the view editing page can be useful just for keeping track of it, and especially for reusing it.
