Apparently this guy, "Remi Frazier" has a million dollar destiny (and a myspace account). He says he's gone to NYC with $100 in his pocket and says he will return to Colorado in a month with a million dollars:
I've never been to New York. I don't have a place to stay. I don't have a network of people in the city; I haven't set anything up in advance. I'll be starting from scratch, building a business and a new social network from Friday, June 16 to Saturday, July 15th.
Interesting idea there Remi. Personally I'm getting a little tired of these hair-brained "missions" and the dolts that pay for them. Perhaps this is a PhD experiment gone awry but I expect it's just another attempt to pilfer a million dollars from unsuspecting folks looking for a cheap (Internet) thrill. Here's an idea, give that $3 you were about to send Remi to a local non-profit organization instead and watch something useful come from your local community.
Check with your employer- they often match donations too. There you go. $6 to a worthy cause instead of $3 wasted dollars to Remi. Perhaps some good can come from this after all.
