    I'd buy some really good wine, and that new Star Wars light sword thing for the lad.

    In all seriousness, interesting thread.

    I would give 1 trillion to my sister. Then buy a large parcel of land out in the country with a big house, and just enjoy living in the middle of nowhere.

    Mine as well, really, Rebecca - my family and I would buy solitude, quiet, and time, to make the best contribution we know how to make to the world. Recovered materials, a humble house, but wildlands everywhere surrounding.

    This is fantastic. What a clever link-bait-ish way to promote the war costs.

    Hallelujah to the free market and creativity of the internet.

    Obviously, there are a lot of charitable ideas, seeing as how it is the money of the people, not personal money.

    I should have applied for a trademark and copyright, regretting it very much now that Bush Jr took my idea :(

    Oh, and beer. Yep...hookers and beer.
