Do you know, I think you might be on to something. Do you remember this million pixel dude who's reasonably original (why oh why did I not think of it) idea spawned a host of copycat pages, like the quiskish on the band waggon, the not so quick and the plane rudely late

Well, what about hosting a website callled....wait for it www.billionpixelpage.com
mm already been done.

Just joking get to the point damnit.

Right, how about hosting a site with a 4300MB DVD, Where you sell the space @ $5/500k and people get to upload a file of whatever they want that will fit (max of 50MB). So at the end, you've made $43,000 and you have this mad ISO of all sorts of crap from around the world. Which you could then flog for $10 a pop.

ooohh, just imageine what you could do with blue ray or hd dvd!!

Actually, I said it was least unlike Abe Simpson...

Are you going to post a picture of it stretched out & the right way up just to confirm ?

Damn... just too late, and I knew the answer too.

I suppose it doesn't really matter, the certificate would've taken too long in the post, and I'd have had to download the CD-R.

Righto. The answer is...

Abe (Grandpa) Simpson!

So that means Nigel wins, even though he thought it was least like Abe. Still, he was the only person to mention him though

Email me your address and I'll put the fantastic prizes in the post. Make sure to hang the certificate on your wall!
