Hi Guys  I find the human mind to be utterly fascinating and so I've come up with a little game that I think will be quite interesting and fun for us to play. Ok, ready? it's called, "What would YOU do for 50 million dollars?" and this is the first question from my wild and crazy mind. LOL
1) Would you walk around your neighborhood naked?
My answer:  I certainly would! of course within the first 10 minutes, every cell phone would be dialing into the 911 system    but for THAT kind of money, I would not only take the risk of being hauled in, but also the very excellent chance of consequently being on the tv news, talk shows, the tabloids and perhaps even getting my own reality show out of all this.
What do YOU say?

Right now it's -11c (in the teens for ferenheit) so walking around naked could be dangerous (not to mention not too flattering cause of the cold) But for $50 million, sure, why not?

In college we had the undie 500 (like the Indi 500) where we'd strip naked and run 5 laps around the dean's house with our underwear on our heads (for anonominity). And no, this was not a frat thing.
OK, where's my money?

That is hilarious. In college we used to run through the huge lecture halls naked during finals. My roommate did it, and she was chased by 2 teachers before we picked her up!! It was hilarious. She of course had a bag on her head....
It happened to me once when I was taking a final - this guy ran through screaming and naked, everyone was dying laughing - it really lightens the mood of the test!!

Haha! Yeah we actually thought about leaving her naked in the middle of campus. It was a huge gym, so we dropped her off at one end, she ran through and came out the door on the other end...where we were to pick her up. It was SO tempting to drive away, but she would have never forgiven us - LOL. Oh it makes me laugh so hard just thinking about it. We should have seen what the teachers would have done if they caught up!
She was the roommate that would do ANYTHING we dared her to. (All my roommates were crazy, but she was hilarious). We made her wear her Marsh uniform (a grocery store she worked at) - Red pants, a red, blue, and white striped shirt, and her nametag and pins to class for a week. Not as exciting as the naked thing, but it cracked me up every morning when she left in it. Oh I miss those days!!

I was laughing so hard, RAN into class and yelled, STREAKERS.... everyone left class to go see... it was great!

Heck yeah I'd do it!!! 50 Million is a ton of money. Now I'd prefer it be night time and August but I'd still do it in December during the day for 50 million. Heck, my husband would push me out the door to do it! In fact, he said he'd do it, sell the house and move! (he's more modest than me obviously)

Ok guys...here's the next question:
For 50 million dollars, would you spend a night alone in an authentically documented haunted house? 
I would but I would have to keep all of the lights on every single minute, as well as have my cell phone and my portable dvd/cd player along with my favorite entertainment for company. I probably would be so scared that I would be calling somebody up every 5 minutes anyway, so I wouldn't be able to actually watch or hear much of any movie or song. 
BTW, I've already had ONE ghostly encounter in my life back when I was a teenager and was spending the night with one of my best girlfriends at her grandma's old house when I lived in Brooklyn, NY. We were each in bed, in a room across from the other, when I felt my bed depress as if someone was sitting down. The next thing I felt was my hair gently being lifted up from my neck and when I looked around and saw nobody, I panicked and flew into my girlfriend Joyce's bed. At the time she thought I was dreaming, but I KNEW that I was not, but when her grandparents later told us that they had seen shadows on the wall of people who were not there in the room at the time, we knew that I was definitely not dreaming and I will never forget this as long as I live.

If I was as tired as I am now no problem, nothing could keep me awake.
I'm not the type to be scared by that sort of thing and can't really sleep with the light on, so reckon I could do it lights out. If I was alllowed one "cheat" I would bring a radio/CD player.

It's funny...I would much rather run naked through the neighborhood than do this...but I definately would for 50 million. I would just stay up all night and cry probably - lol. But it would be worth it! I am a wuss when it comes to haunted stuff like that.
Where I live, we have this HUGE building that used to be for the mentally ill/dying patients, there are no windows, it's REALLY old, etc. Well it got turned into a community college about 30 years ago, and you wouldn't believe some of the stories that come out of that place from the janitors. I refuse to take any classes there at night. (Unless you were giving me 50 million I guess)
Also - I used to work at the County building here, and in the back of the building is another small building where they used to keep dead bodies in freezers before they were buried!! One night a guy I worked with was working late, and he heard the front door opening, so he asked who was there, and no one said anything. He walked around the whole building (it's just one floor) and saw a shadow moving down the hallway. He said he booked out of there and about peed his pants. This was an older man who was the quietest, nicest, most honest person in the world, and he would never make that up, so it freaked me out...

I lived in a haunted house for 9 months, and often stayed there alone overnight, but didn't get any $50 mil for it. I feel ripped off!
Obligatory ghost stories:
The house belongs to my father and his wife now, but at the time, just she lived there, and I lived with her for a while, when I was in-between jobs. The very first time I walked in the house, I could sense a "presence", but it wasn't until after I moved in that my housemate told me that she often heard footsteps in the main part of the house. In the time I lived there, I occasionally heard screams in the middle of the night, banging like the window shutters were being slammed closed (but they hadn't moved), and - my personal favorite - one day a cutting board flew off its hook on the wall and landed in the middle of the kitchen as I watched from the other room. It was a little creepy, yeah.

I'm with Cara, I'd rather run naked!! LOL!! I tend to be a bit of a scaredy cat. I never liked staying home alone at night when I lived at home and my parents would go out. Even now, I don't sleep as well when my hubby isn't home at night! I've watched too many horror movies I guess!! I've never really had anything that spookey happen to me, its just a feeling I get inside! For $50 million, I'm sure I'd make myself do it but I wouldn't be happy about it!

Strike 2!!! I wouldn't do this either!!! I believe in ghosts and I believe in haunted houses, and there's no way on Gods green earth I would stay in anything haunted! I'd maybe visit a haunted house for a couple of seconds, until I came to my senses and ran out with my tail between my legs!!
Gosh I'm a wimp!!!

The funny thing is...you wouldn't have to pay me 50 million because all the innocent bystanders would be giving me money to put my clothes BACK ON!!! LOL
Whatever, for 50 million I would. I would even eat a worm and jump out of a helicopter into water for that amount of money. And I am scared of water and be worried that the worms would bother my IBS teehee

Hi My Lovely IBS Friends You are all so wonderful to have responded to my questions in this way. I hope you are enjoying yourselves thinking about what you would (or would not do). Ok...here comes question #3 (please don't hate me because I'm crazy lol):
For 50 million dollars, would you eat 4 live cockroaches in a row? Sorry guys, I realize that we have IBS and all, and besides that, this IS a gross and disgusting question anyway but I've decided to ask this of you regardless, just to see what your reactions to it would be. After all, we are talking about a LOT of money!
As for ME, although the thought of this is turning my stomach already, I want this money oh so badly that I would give it my best shot, and hope that I wouldn't gag or (excuse me) throw them up.

I'd do it. I've eaten some pretty weird things anyway, and the idea doesn't squick me out nearly as much as the fact that we inadvertently eat 7 or 8 spiders in our lifetime, without even knowing it. Nothing weirds me out like spiders!
So yes, anyway. For $50mil, I'd do it.

I am a little behind on this post so here's my answers!
1. Yeah I'd run naked for 50mil. Because think of all the clothes I could buy when I was done to cover my body!
2. The haunted house well... I really believe in those things so I would definately try it but I would be like Heather and say give me cell phone to talk to someone.
3. As for the cockroaches sure why not! I'd plug my nose and swallow. If it were spiders forget it! I would die of a heart attack before it reached my mouth!

For 50 million I would do it.
But I wouldn't
-harm anyone
-hurt (emotionally or physically) family or friends (like there is NO WAY i would have done that Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance show)
-be unfaithful (i don't think you could rebuild what you had lost, despite "Indecent Proposal")
That's all I can think of now, I have lots of fears but would get over a fear of heights, snakes etc for 50 mil!
(although the exchange rate is pretty poor, but I could definitely afford to pay the shipping on my luna bars! )

I actually just saw something about this on TV, two high school boys went streaking at a high school football game. Because there were children present (among other reasons) they were both arrested and charged with indecent exposure in the presence of minors, were JAILED (6mo - 2yrs), and have to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives. Can you believe that????

You know, AP, something similar happened to some of my work colleagues a few years ago. They went on a beach trip and late one night, after considerable wine and in the company of close friends, a group of them decided it would be fun to go skinny-dipping in the ocean.
The Delaware police caught them, and they had to talk their way out of a citation which would have meant they register as sex offenders, as it was a sexual misdemeanor to get caught skinny-dipping.
They explained that the group of them, 6 I think, were teachers, and they would be forced to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives, thereby jeopardizing their careers.
After consideration and some serious ogling on the part of the cops, the police relented and sent them all away.
Scaaary!!

but don't know if I could physically do it! that is too much money not to try. If we were talkin a couple of thousand, I would say a definate 'NO!'
Basically, the only thing that I would NOT do for 50 million is anything that compromises my ethics or morals.
Like, I would never accept an "Indecent Proposal" type offer and cheat on my partner, even with his support. Or murder someone. Stuff like that.

For the haunted house, I would definately do it, as long as I could have music (or some kind of noise!)... I don't even like being in my own home when it's quiet!!
The cockroaches, I would try ... for that much money, yes indeed! Would we still get paid if we puked 'em back up though? And could we rip the legs off, as long as they're still alive? I don't think I could handle the creepy crawly legs going down the back of my throat ... ick!!
