1000 pennies - Possible?

    So I want to do a little experiment that I got from another post of mine.

    Someone offered to send me a penny, and see if I could get 999 other people to send me a penny for a total of $10.00

    I don't think 1000 people would do it.

    Can you prove me wrong?

    If so, I will dedicate a website to all of the donations, with your name and url.

    If more than 1000 people send a penny, the remaining amount will go to DP.

    Let's go!

    If you want to donate a penny, send it to

    Along with your name and URL.

    That's 1 so far.

    Nah, I have money for the domain.

    I just want to see if 1000 people will donate a penny.

    Anything more goes to Digital Point, the $10 will go towards the site dedicated to people who did it.

    Probably something along the lines of 1000people1penny.com

    With the list of people who donated and their url to their website.

    I am not doing this to benefit, I am doing this for fun and amusement.

    I am 100% convinced that people are too greedy to hand over 1 penny, lol.

    I will give a penny.

    Lets see if we can do this. Its only a penny, im sure even the most broke of us can afford to give up one cent on a whim for the sake of this experiment.

    If you make a site that lists everyone and their website, I'll donate a penny.

    So I got reported for being a beggar.

    Did I beg?

    Who ever reported me is a low-life.

    I am not asking for anything, I am simply trying something out, the people who participate earn something in return, which is going to be worth well over a penny.

    All other proceeds go to Digital Point, so how am I a beggar?

    Heh, Paypal sucks!

    They actually take the penny...

    Bastards!

    How in the hell can they charge a penny for a penny?

    I will be refunding everyones penny, lol.

    Sorry to bother everyone, I was really hoping this would work out.

    But no paypal has to be a bitch.
