holy crap
 
Why would those first two ladies want the paper clip to begin with? Im sure they could have found one somewhere....then they could have kept their fish pen. :lol
 
That's great. It exemplifies the way the internet brings the idea and people together to form a mass web of awesome.
 
I've been to a few web sites that have their own economy (example: RuneScape, Neopets, etc) where people have tried to do that exact thing. Pretty cool to watch sometimes.

Props to that guy. :D

your teacher is jealous.

Many people work hard everyday to get what they need... this guy worked hard...and figured a different way out to get it :lol it's actually quite cool.

I wonder HOW MANY people are going to copy this?

I almost want to try that out :lol not to try to get a house... just to try it out though :lol my question is... who traded him for the paper clip? :lol I wouldn't trade a pen for a paper clip :lol or whatever it was.

Bv :hat
 
did you read the article hes got people offering him movie deals


i dont think hes going to have trouble finding people to trade with him
 
Alright....heres why I said that....

Last year I got on this coin-collecting kick. I did weird things for coins. Peple would throw coins across the room and I would chase them. They would pass a bowl around the table and combine a bunch of food, all put in some change, and if i ate it i got the change. I made 102 dollars in about a month. People realized how much money i was getting, and after that all i would get was pennies and nickels. I think the same will happen with people like that.

I read on a web site about a kid who just asked people for pennies. He wanted to rise money for college, and just wanted pennies. he got somewhere near $30,000. I think the site was snopes.com or something...

It's a mass web of something alright...  :lol

I heard about this on the news the other day. Kipling is actually very close to where I live, in fact, I'm heading out of town for a couple days today and I do believe I will be going right through it. I definitely gotta get in on that house warming party... :D
