3Trillion.org - in honor of Bluemoon
Submitted by kaflinn on May 8, 2008 - 8:08pm.
Blue posted this over in another thread today and I bit. It's suprisingly difficult to spend that much money, without blowing it on just a few high ticket items, or going completely mental and buying everything you ever wanted and then some.
So - here's the challenge: How would you spend 3 trillion dollars ?
After you've spent it, come back her and post what you bought. The cool thing is, you can also create items (I created several) too. Like I said, several of you are really going to like your presents, lol!
