    If you were crazy wealthy which would you do? a) Buy a gold plated yacht[^] b) Hire a construction crew to dig your name into the sand of your private beach so that it's visible from space[^]

    I’ll spend every penny in research labs for: 0. More efficient nuclear reactors or even better Thorium reactors or fusion based such. 1. More efficient batteries. 2. Space engines based on plasma/fusion materials not the current unusable for space exploration/mining chemical rockets. 3. New foods. 4. Will buy the old Privateer franchise and will create Privateer III super game hybrid between Privateer and Mass Effect. 5. Medical researches. 6. Extremely efficient and fast trains and catamaran passengers super ships. 7. Babes. 8. Babes. 9. Women. The last three are going to be a personal research projects – highly funded.

        Google images, safe search off, Big Erika and Little Erika could not possible yield more different responses. I can only conclude that Big Erika was filth.

        Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

            You could do b) with little more than the funds to buy some weed killer and a spray bottle. Find your nearest large open space and voilà

              Howard Hughes was crazy and wealthy and he was a recluse. He died a miserable man. I would never wish to be that wealthy. I only wish to have enough to live comfortably and enough to leave to my children.

                        She's Big Erika[^] to her friends and IIRC her eyes where huge. To be honest, I didn't spend a lot of time looking at her eyes. :-D

                            If I were wealthy I'd buy a nice RV and tour the country, see the wonders meet the people and when I get tired of one place move on to another. It would take the rest of my life to see all the amazing things in this country.

                            I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.
