This guy's a genius. He started out with a Red paperclip, which he traded for something better, and he's gonna keep trading what he gets for something better until he gets a house. At the moment, he has an afternoon with Alice Cooper.

Ha! What a legend.
But who's Alice Cooper?

I like the way it shows his reaction as the attention to his story starts to grow, and he ends up talking to the nation and all over the net. Seriously though, a paperclip?!:eek:

Oh - hahaha - that made me sound far cooler than it should've :P.

I have a show on community radio - from time to time, I rope in random comedians/musicians/internet celebrities (that guy; deathlist.com; pimpmysnack.com etc etc). Fun stuff

the only reason he been able to trade up is because people are eager to be in on the gimmick, he doesn't actually trade something for something just a bit better and work his way up he goes, from a paper clip to a generator in some inconceivable manner mostly due to the novelty

its a crock and he has way too much stuff on the one page, which will crash half the world computers >:\
