Have you all heard about this? Wish I could come up with crazy ideas like this…

Kyle MacDonald from Montreal had one red paperclip and a goal of trading it for a house. Starting on July 12th, 2005, he’s made a series of trades for bigger or better things trying to reach this goal. First off was a trade for a fish pen, then the fish pen for a door knob, the door knob for a coleman stove, stove for a generator, etc. Currently, he’s up to one year free rent at a duplex in Phoenix!
