Hi,

I chance upon this url on how this amazing
guy amazingly, after 14 trades got a new house.

And he started from just one paper clip.

Internet is amazing, isn't it?

=> one red paperclip

    Jon,

    I couldn't stop laughing and wondering same time!

    People are sooooo innovative and creative and ... and ... full of new ideas!

    I remembered the 1 pixel advertizing idea few years back.
    A person writing ads on his forehead and body and selling them on Ebay.
    Another person selling his fathers ghost in a bottle.

    Ahhh... hillarious!

    I have also seen a news.

    This groom is selling ad space on his tie
    when he marched down the wedding aisle
    with his bride.

    Haha...

    re;the red paperclip;
    I remember that. it was on telly here probably about 4 years ago(probably longer,at the way the years are speeding by).
    It was on telly becuase the kid was australian. The house was located in victoria i believe (?).

    It's very inspiring...

    hmm..I'd love to get mum a house.. Anyone want a silver paperclip? LOL

    I read about that too. I guess the hardest thing is to get started. What can you trade a paperclip for?
