    I was hearing about this on the news on the radio a lot yesterday and thought it was pretty interesting. Never heard of something like this being done before (I mean, not on this sort of scale).

    Wow, from a paper clip to a house in 14 trades! :eek: Quite a feat! :) I agree with the article that it certainly proves anything is possible.

    Article from Yahoo.com

    I read about this yesterday and it was the first I'd heard of it... sounds like his little quest has been more publicized in the States than in his home country! :eek:

    :lol: Anyway, it's fairly cool. Sort of a new style of passive entrepreneurialism! :)

    Mom showed me that a few weeks ago in the paper. Or was it Grandma?... I can't remember -_-; Sure lets you know what you can do with something as simple as a paperclip.
