I'd take it. 5000000$US is more than I'll make in my lifetime, I'd have to work 166 years for that money. Living of the interest alone would be quite feasible. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Living of the interest alone would be quite feasible. Sure, if there wasn't a 50/50 chance of death I'd take it too. I'd like to think I would have the self control to invest the money wisely and live a comfortable but not extravagant life, but until I'm actually in that situation I can't say for sure.

Hurlshort Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I wouldn't do it at 99/1. I consider my life worth more than that, and money certainly doesn't buy happiness. 1

Chilloutman Posted January 30 Posted January 30 1 I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
