Re: an experiment in human nature 27155
make sure you post back about how many dimes you get -- Lose Weight NOW - Ask Me How http://ICanHelp56.homestead.com <exp...@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:0-9...@ghosthost.nonymous.org... 28930 This is an experiment to see just what people will do for a stranger. I'll admit right up from that I do stand to gain from it and am wanting to see just how many people will participate in it. Here's the details: I'm asking for you, the reader, to simply donate a single dime to my vacation fund. If you have an account with PayPal, you can donate the dime through them. If you don't have an account yet, simply go to www.paypal.com and sign up with them. The email address to use for the donation is: experiment\@shamrocksgf.com You can also help donate by simply going to the status page for the experiment by going to: http://www.geocities.com/experiment999999 and clicking on one or more of the sponsors's links there (they'll each pay around 3-5 cents/click.) I'd like to see just how many people do donate, etc. to such an open and blatant plea for money.:) The website will show a graph (updated every couple of days) showing how much has been donated to-date so you can see how many folks out there are willing to give a single dime to help out a total stranger. The experiment will end either when I've accumulated the sum of \,000, which will be used to send me and my wife on a much needed vacation, or after one year has passed. My wife and I haven't been on any kind of a vacation in several years and desperately need one. We aren't dirt-poor but we also aren't rich. We live basically pay-check to pay-check without much extra for anything else. Would you be willing to help us out with just a simple dime? If nothing else, you do have to admire my honesty with the whole deal :) BTW, any and all email sent to experiment\@shamrocksgf.com will get trashed so don't bother flaming, etc. If you want to send me a note, do it via the guest book on the website mentioned above.
