Just looking for some ideas on what a warforged can do while sitting on watch while the rest of the party are sleeping.
Preferably no 'pranks' on the party unless of course there really funny :D To start us off- 1. Whittle Wooden sculptures to sell in town 2. Sharpens team mates weapons 3. Turn ladders into 10 ft poles for profit 4. Paint portraits of the party... sleeping 5. Catch and cook breakfast. 
6.) Step on bugs.
7.) Review instruction manual. 8.) Play fetch with the Ranger's Beast Companion. 
9.) Ponder the nature of the universe
10.) Ponder the meaning of life 11.) Ponder whether or not it is alive 12.) Ponder where its other sock went 
13.> get talking in to various plots to take over the the world by you lab rat pet... that never work and leave next to the party the next morning.
14.> Prove that the Elderin in the group really does sleep that he is just trying to put one over on the group. 15.. learn to play the accordion or bagpipes.
Fletch arrows for the rangers/ mold and pack flintlock weapons/ tune crossbow.
Copy the wizards spellbook for redundant copy when first is destroyed Scribe scrolls/brew potions Polish and clean armors Give items back to players the kender/thief stole during the last dungeon Do the appraisal/accounting/identify-ing of treasure for the group count the stars (starpact :P) learn a new language/feat 
25. While the party is sleeping surgically remove their limbs and replace them with warforged ones, bringing the meatbags one step closer to perfection.
26: Slowly and indugently apply a coat of Turtle Wax to self.
27: Feel exteem shame if someone in the party wakes up and sees him doing it.
But warforged don't have those kinds of parts, do they?
34. Math: formulate possible encounters for the party and the probability of the survival of the party, how many arrows they will use, how many times swords will have to swung, etc.
35. Talk to pet rock. 
36. Write over and over again "Mustn't kill meatbags; Mustn't kill meatbags; Mustn't kill meatbags..." and leave it where someone in the party can find it.
37. Generate new PC for that great new roleplaying game where you pretend you're a student or worker in an industrialized and technological society, "Papers & Paychecks". (Cookie for the reference!) 
39 -- Grind XP
40 -- Abuse the Auction House 41 -- Take dance lessons during the 4 hours the Eladrin is up 
44. Write a play
45. Build furniture 46. Knit scarves for your fellow party members 47. Mix berry juices and color a rainbow 48. Sharpen stakes to place in the ground 49. Search for owls. 50. Learn to play the bard's instrument -Poseph
51. Figure out How many 'forges could a warforged forge, if a warforged could forge 'forges
52. Be moderately bored
53. Count the seconds until the fleshbags awaken 54. Deleaf trees with magic missiles 
55. Update the party's website/journal/Korranberg Chronicle column
56. Detail runes or go-faster stripes on plating 57. Craft elaborate kites which shall never be flown (And the "P&P" cartoon was in the AD&D DMG.)
58.) Write poetry
59.) NOT fire its human laser (because since it is a human, it does not possess a laser and will laser you to death if you say otherwise). 60.) Build a sandcastle. Maybe a sand fortress, if given enough time.
61. Offer sage advice to party members dealing with insomnia and personal problems. (The warforged in our party ends up doing this quite a bit.)
62 - Try on clothes belonging to other party members. Make sure to use cartoonish voices in imitation of them.
63 - Stare into a mirror, wondering what it would be like to have facial expressions.
64 - Grow a meatbag tongue in a jar.
65 - Connect said tongue to itself and go around tasting food/scenery/other PCs to see what all the fuss is about. 66 - Dig a hole and see how far down he can get each night.
67. Go out and party every night while spending a fortune in gold
68. Visit every stripclub, bar, restaurant, listen to every singer, vendor and beggar, see every dance performance, and rate the performance of everyone and everything
70.) Learn to play tennis.
71.) Learn to play tennis without using hands. 72.) Learn to play tennis without using hands, racket, or ball. 73.) Forget how to play tennis. 74.) Rinse and repeat.
75. make a garden in those strange crevices on the back of your friends
76.make sculpture duplicates of other party members and put them in their sleeping bags, so they are all sleeping with themselves.
77.make aforementioned sculpture duplicates again, and replace party members with them. put actual party members in the forest dressed up litke the trees you cut down to make the sculptures.
78. make sculptures of your party members during the night, depicting them at their usual morning tasks.
79. When your friends awaken, talk to the statues. 80. Don´t comment on 78 or 79. 
81. Work on your autobiographical novel (I, Robot?)
82. Paint your nails - and your screws, bolts and rivets! 83. Fling drops of your various bodily fluids into the campfire and see what color the flames turn.
84. Try out burning various (removable) parts of your partymembers trying to find where the "spark" is hidden. Start with the hair of any elves or eladrins.
85. Apply sovereign glue to the insides of all your party members armour, so they'll be forever encased in armour just like you.
86. Apply sovereign glue to the party members orifices that the strange sounds are coming out of while they sleep. 87. Remember, posthumously for the party member, that non warforged need to 'breathe'. 88. Learn and master the art of dorodango, then replace the wizards orb with one of your creations. So much fun to be had, the wizard gets out of line and you crush his orbs, and the look on the wizard's face when he fights the BBEG and realizes you made the switch. If the party and the wizard survive, you'll be able to look back on that moment and realize why the party kicked you out of the group. This list makes warforged seem like jerks.

101. Befriend a cockroach. (I saw WALL-E for the first time Saturday night. Best. Movie. EVER!)
102). Review battle strategies.
103). Plan out the next days activities. 
104. If your head is detachable, unscrew it and start juggling it. Make sure the rest of your party wakes up to see you doing that.
105. Make plans on how to assassinate the meatbags around you. Just in case you need to, of course. 106. Pretend to "sleep" and start muttering random and/or disturbing things in your "dreams". 107. Hold a tea party for the severed heads of the enemies you killed during the day. Make sure the rest of your party wakes up to see you doing that. 
108) Resurrect old conversations you found entertaining
109) Dig a hole, fill it up, and refuse to comment on it when people ask. 110) Tame a chipmunk, and teach it to steal things for you. 111) Figure out how to craft another warforged, then make a Mini Me. Teach him how to craft a smaller warforged...
