1. I've done research on this...I can be bought for $650,000
Hey, prospective buyers that's not so bad!

Why that's little more than the Bush administration thinks a dead person's life might be worth...

3. Contentment,
Edited on Sat Feb-19-05 05:34 PM by Gonnabuymeagun
that means "more" to me.

on edit: I don't have any skills other than my un-web-worthy wit and aesthetic sense of sentence structure.

4. The "price" would depend on what was being bartered.
NO price would be worth eating maggots, or other absurd things people on Reality TV do for some quick money.

NO price would be worth selling my body for money (as a certain so-called reporter recently did).

In fact, come to think of it, there are very few things I would allow myself to be "bought" for.

5. 1,453,572,904,830,037,112,349,947.
But if you post payment in Italian Lira or Polish Zlotys, you can probably scrape it all together. :-)

9. Depends on the issue, but I'd do anything for $50k...
pay off my bills and put a lot into savings... of course, if/when the economy crashes it'll be worth nothing, but it's the thought that counts.

15. That's Right...
... or almost right. I had read something (ages ago) that all of the the elements in our body could be purchased for under $5.00. Allowing for inflation, that would be $20.00 today.

100 lbs of h2o
50 lbs of calcium
25 lbs of carbon
1 oz of iron
1 gr of zinc
2.5 gr of Sodium Chloride

etc etc etc.
