For a buck a pixel, Brit kid nets nearly $1 million

Post by Taurec »

If you have an envious streak, you probably shouldn't read this.

Because chances are good that Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from a small town in England, is more clever than you. And he is proving it by earning a cool million dollars in four months on the Internet.

Selling porn? Dealing prescription drugs? Nope. All he sells are pixels, the tiny dots on the screen that appear when you call up his home page.

He had the brainstorm for his million dollar home page, called, logically enough, www.milliondollarhomepage.com, while lying in bed thinking out how he would pay for university.

Linky

Well I know such a person who has pulled off a similar stunt for his site and 2 months ago he wondered if giving his wife a Mercedes would be a nice gift for her birthday.

"Can I help you?, "you know this section is.." she broke off her sentence as the man walked towards her and nodded, "I think you can Captain".
Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."

Remember kids, trying to start Armageddon is dangerous. Do not try it at home.

On a good day, a Tomahawk can fly into the door of a two-car garage at the distance of several hundred miles. And that can ruin your whole day.

Hate is such a strong word... Let's castrate him... "Now since those things are gone, what else would he spend his money on now" :twisted:
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.
