It's funny, millions of people have used it as such with surprising success.
Wired magazine had it analyzed to see what's in it, and lo and behold, most of the things in there are good lubricants. Essentially - Mineral Oil, Vaseline and the gunk inside lava lamps.
Yes, supposedly it's for displacing water and it does do that. It also makes a dandy light lubricant.
