A way to live until the world ends
Dan: Here’s one possible way we can scare up some cash to bring Left Turn on Bird Street up to our intended standards and maybe even realize my lifelong hope of living until the world ends.What we do, see, is create a mythical animal, one certain to capture the interest of all the gullible 12 year-olds out there with unrestricted access to the family laptop and guaranteed to be interested in extinct monsters, alien goblins and video games with sound tracks supposedly larded with filthy jokes recorded backwards.
All we’d have to do is get up a pay-per-click website showing a hazy photo of the supposed monster, maybe a mammal with a fish tail, or a captured example of the thing the Greeks called the Medusa. The 39.5-second digitally-recorded news clip obtained from an amateur cameraman who would only identify himself as "qU33ny." It would have grim music oozing in the background.
We’d open the site up early in a Friday a.m., score what we could by midnight Sunday, shut it down before FBI offices open on Monday and slip away.
See example:
Finally, on the new Cryptomundo.com blog site, launched in October 2005, the biggest interest so far, across other media, was stimulated by the debate over the identity of the animal shown in the Name the Mystery Fish posting. [Scroll down to #8] Over 90,000 hits occurred in less than a day at the blog, and continued to cause a minor cryptozoology media event of its own through the end of the year.As I understand it, PPC sites earn something like $5 per hit. Ninety thousand visits -- as the mystery fish site got – would net us some $450,000 in no time at all.
That would give us enough walkin'-around money to set up a legit operation of some sort somewhere (Finland, maybe) – or permanently immigrate to Argentina, whichever seemed wisest in the immediate aftermath.
I don’t know about you, but my $225,000 share would easily carry me through to Dec. 21, 2012 when, according to Mayan astronomers, either the world will end, or complete enlightenment (Look around, guess which) will arrive. Maybe even longer.
Who could ask for anything more?
