”Blogger starts with paper clip, ends with house”
http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2006-07-11-paper-clip-house_x.htm
Apparantly, a guy in Montreal traded a red paperclip for a pen shaped like a fish on an online trading post. He then traded the pen for various other stuff, including a camp stove, a speaking role in a movie, and a year’s free rent, eventually ending up with a 3-bedroom house in Saskatchewan. I’m just wondering what I could trade in order to pay off my student loans. Maybe if I start with a sheet of aluminum foil, which I trade for an empty glass bottle, which turns out to be priceless hand-blown glass from the 17th century… I’m asking because I seem to have misplaced my Pell Grant. I used to have one. Then all of a sudden, it went missing from my lovely little financial aid printout. I remember seeing it, but I probably set it down somewhere, and you know how that goes. So, yeah, if anyone happens to see it, I kind of miss it. Because I’ve looked, and I’m fresh out of red paper clips.
