What's so grape about these seeds?

Can I do anything useful with these grape seeds?
I mistakenly purchased red globe grapes with seeds. After eating some, something possessed me to keep all of the seeds, rinse them and put them away. By the time I'm finished with them, I'll probably have almost a cup of seeds. Can I do anything useful with them?

If you want to grow vines from them, there's some advice here

- Apple trees (didn't do well; pulled them after a year)
- Orange trees (two years in, still growing strong)
- Sweet potato plants (from left-in-the-cupboard-too-long sprouts; they're growing like crazy but I know I'll have to toss them in the fall)

You could eat 'em in the remainder of the grapes; the antioxidants in them are good for you.
Me, I can't stand even biting into a grape with seeds. Bleh.

I suppose you could try pressing the oil out of them, though you’d not get much. Also, (but in no way recommendable to try at home), marc or grappa can be made out of grape-skins, stems & seeds.
