Nancy,
Was surprised when you mentioned the Cedar Bar you forgot to include Jackson Pollock. That was the place where he discovered drip-drop technique of painting. In his cups, he knocked over his plate of veal parmigiana floating in tomato sauce. He saw the interesting design it made on the saw-dust covered floor and cried "Eureka" or some similar cry of delight...the rest is history.
A neighborhood carpeter bought one of his paintings for 400 hundred dollars...paid at 40 dollars a month for ten months and years later sold it to an Austalian museum for four million dollars which proves buying Internet stocks is not the only place to make money. You just have to be in the right place at the right time...and luck helps.
Just returned from a cemetary which proves my theory that the only words that are carved in stone are EPITAPHS.!!!

Jonathan Appleton
