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

i have an idea…

Posted on 26 July, 201726 July, 2017 By Wil

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.

    Definitely curious…I’m in!

    I’m interested…I think.

    Not to make a horrible comparison, but the Republicans just voted “yes” to open a discussion on a healthcare bill that they know nothing about either.

      This is called “blind trust.” So far, in my book, Wil has earned it. I believe most of “us,” unlike most GOP followers, will not continue giving Wil that trust much longer should he play us all for fools. I hope we are woke folks.

    Curiosity piqued. Can’t wait to find out. Sure you have at least that many followers from various sources (and all of them have family/friends) depends on if and what kind of skills/talents participants need. You might also contact Ashton Kutcher i saw a late night interview he did where he says that he picks his investments by the ‘crazy’ factor. He goes to incubators and if someone’s idea makes everyone laugh–he’s in because some of the craziest sounding ideas are ones that take off these days.
    If there’s anything daughter and i can contribute in the way of ‘talent’ we’d be in, i’m sure.

  35. Janet Thatcher says:
    27 July, 2017 at 6:17 am

    You had me at “art project”.

  36. Dustin Morton says:

  37. lisa b says:

    Our whole clan is in! That’s 4 of us, and at least 5 more friends.

  38. GhostMuppet says:
    27 July, 2017 at 7:04 am

    Sounds like something that i should be involved in.

  39. Cheryl says:
