This is always a good one, and if you're really skilled at it you can do it wel enough to plant the seed of doubt (no pun intended) in your coworkers' minds as to what you're really up to. Not blatantly enough to get fired, but well enough that they just fuck the hell off away from you and call rather than drop by.

If only it were opposite day, that'd be the best suggestion yet! Good job!
Are you artistic? I'd take up drawing/sketching/whatever. It's always good to use your creative side as well every once in a while.
i have been drawing my whole life. its actually a bore to me now. i grew up watching my father draw, he's an engineer and does alot of drawings and designs for architects. this we before the days of autocad when it was him, his huge drawing board and lots of erasers. lol.
SuDoku and other number and logic puzzles?

If you have a window stare out of it...seriously.
Reading a book or looking at a computer or any other activity where your eyesight it focussed close to you for a long time is bad.
Just take 5mins to look out at the view and into the distance once every so often. Also in the way they suggest on planes, don't sit still the whole time. Get up and walk to the other end of the room to keep your blood circulation up.
If you are in college or thinking about it, read the textbooks at night. I once had a position where I was in a room for 8 hours, no entry or exit allowed, so when I was done working I pulled out my school books.

Dang. I bet being held up was not so much of a problem. ;-)
I never thought of it that way at the time. Explains some of the looks I got.
Get yourself a small DvD player(one of those CD-Player Boombox things) and watch some videos, you can always pause them. Yeah if you want to study that works great too, but reading too many books in an 8 hour period will hurt your eyes, make you tired and hurt your neck/back. Bringing music is a good way to spend some time as well.
I know also that PsPs are out. No idea on the side differance of the CDs or if you can play a normal one in there but it might be worth looking into.
