Penny Projekt

So, me and my friends were sitting down in our school cafeteria, and suddenly, there was an outburst (lost memories of what happened here exactly) and presented to us was this fabulously neat idea called "The One Million Penny Projekt". And as if it was a natural reaction, we took our calculators out and started to calculate exactly how many dollars a million pennies make. So, 1 000 000 divided by 100 is.... *drumrolls*... $10 000!!!!!!

At first, I could believe what I was seeing, being bad at math, I thought I did sumthin stupid on the calculator or just plain forgot math, so I asked anther friend of mine to do the calculation again. My eyes hath not deceived me. One million pennies does equal to ten friggin' thousand dollars.

And so, we decided to take up the project and collect a million pennies, whether they be from the floors of subways, streets, the washroom, left on tables of food courts, down in the gutters, garbage dumps, snatched from other people... okay we will not be snatching from people but asking nicely, but the point is, we will be collecting pennies from anywhere possible, and we will not be ashamed to pick them up from weird places either, even if they do project the image of drunk and broke hobos looking for change on streets to buy themselves a well deserved sandwich.

Oh, and did I mention? Upon completion of "The One Million Penny Projekt", we will be donating $1000 to charity (this amount may change in future, may change to more than $1000 but will never be less, because we feel that hobos... and other unfortunate people, deserve a minimum of $1000 to eat and bathe and buy themselves a beer once in a while).

And the rest of the money? We keep it for our own selfish desires such as paying tuition fees, buying books and stationary/nery (can't spell) for school, saving for future emergencies (like, I dunno, say one of us burned down our house or something, or flooded our basement with water, this happened to me so I know how it feels, but it wasn't me who filled the basement with water, the pipe burst) and other emergencies (like, say OSAP refuses to give us any loans, now what do we do? Well, we can always beg our parents for some money.... (which they might not give us...) or we could withdraw some money from "The One Million Penny Projekt" savings and be happy.

Now, every projekt requires rules and blah blah you get the point. We've also set up some rules. And I don't remember them now. So when we (me and other people who came up with this whole crazy idea) get down and write up a concrete set of rules, I'll post the rules up here. And we should also come up with a slogan, like... "Save every penny!" or... "Penny has more worth than you give it credit for!" or... "1 penny from every Canadian = $33 000!"... something like that maybe.

Anyways, I shall post up updates when I have updates. But for now, I'll go and commit myself to some chemistry as I have an exam coming up soon.

Oh, and just in case people want to know, this project is being taken up by a few university students.

And I'm really amazed at myself for being able to write a blog!
