can you trade a paperclip for a house?

yes, if you are extremely motherfucking awesome.

ha! i read about that yesterday. amazing.

He actually did it! The internet is the best thing in the world.

That's ridic!

my favorite part was the picture of him and Alice Cooper holding that giant red paperclip on stage.

I read his story, and suddenly I feel really kind of lazy and uncreative. I'd be really annoyed if I weren't completley in awe.

I just checked back on the site to see how the guy is doing and I found the greatest retelling of the story ever. Gotta love the Japanese.

I heard about this a while back. Man, I wish I had those sort of bartering skills....and that much patience too.
