50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

i have an idea…

  • blog

I have this idea to make something as a unique art project. It is either the craziest, dumbest, most impractical thing ever … or it’s a crazy, dumb, impractical thing that will be awesome.

I will need exactly one million people, from anywhere in the world, to make it happen. I wonder if that’s possible.

Feel free to speculate, if you’re into that sort of thing.

    I’m in, now how much magic will this require? I need to know how many furbies must I sacrifice to my heathen gods?

    We all need to donate $1?

      I have a new idea.

        Yes!

        I’m in for both/either.

      I do owe him a dollar for laughing when I read his book.

    I’m in, as long as it doesn’t involve anything legal.

  6. Dave says:
    26 July, 2017 at 4:25 pm

    It’ll only happen if you start!

  7. anthonyws says:

    I say go for it! Count me in.

    If it involves Twitter, I am out. If it involves FB or Instagram I am in. 1,000,000 images of cats on roombas are downloaded could be entertaining.

    Do it.
    I did a crazy/stupid/silly thing by crocheting a shark and sending it around the office to chomp my coworkers. They have been loving it. It’s so dumb. It’s so wonderful.
    Mine is low stakes compared to yours, but please do it.

    I think it’ll depend on what those 1 million people need to do for your project. If they can do something from wherever they are in the world, something that is free and easy (so even the poor and disabled can have a part in it), something that is big enough that that many people care about it. Yeah, I think you can do it. Why the hell not? Go for it. Have a go. 🙂

    As always, kneels you have my sword. And my bow. But not my axe because I don’t know how to use an axe and that just sounds like a recipe for missing limbs. Mine and other people’s.

    I’m in. Pretty good at being a face in a crowd …. if that face contributes in some way then bully for us!

    26 July, 2017 at 4:45 pm

  18. Gene Londergan says:
    26 July, 2017 at 4:45 pm

    26 July, 2017 at 4:56 pm

    Count me in, unless it requires me to eat bugs or peppers, sit through a Trumpo speech or watch zombies.

    26 July, 2017 at 4:57 pm

    Life is short

    1. MB Edwards says:
      26 July, 2017 at 4:59 pm

      And that comment was short. “Life is short, why not?” Is what it was supposed to say.

    26 July, 2017 at 5:02 pm

    When you say “exactly one million people”, did you have your pinky touching the corner of your mouth? What is this for the “Million Nerd Couch Sit”? Also, I’m in…

  31. Karen Apperson says:
    26 July, 2017 at 5:07 pm

    Will it involve pictures of cats? Because I’ll chip in, like, 2k+ primo jpegs. DM me, bro…

  34. Casey J Renner says:
    26 July, 2017 at 5:11 pm

    I could happen. Spill the beans and start handing out assignments.

    1. Casey J Renner says:
      26 July, 2017 at 5:12 pm

      And I could learn to type… —> “It” could happen.

  37. Fabe says:
    26 July, 2017 at 5:14 pm

    26 July, 2017 at 5:17 pm

    Ok so one million is like a lot. Have you thought out how much time it will take to verify there is a million of whatever……..?
