Howdy Josef, great to see you around here. Thanks for the amusing wavs and dances; and especially for the link to The Prank - not A Prank but The Prank - The Prank that will surely become legendary in Internet History and function to serve as a great object lesson (and perhaps inspiration). I was close to pushing the button for registering a prelim order of some nodes; but when almost there, backed away because 1) I couldn't understand exactly what those nodes were but if they existed as good as claimed then why would anyone want to raffle 'em off? Not just the money, but the control 2) I had trusted it initially in an automatic "suspension of disbelief" because of the government links but then pondered that the government would have no reason for helping a start-up raise capital by assigning income from the nodes nor would it work with a venture Co. anyway 4)Too many low-rent locations vs. too few World Trade Centers to go around with all the free land in this country wasn't good odds 5) Ultimately it was mostly the sudden announcement & hurry-up 3 day offer registry deadline that set off my snifter at the beginning and then again at the decision time. But you guys Almost Had Me! LOL !
What an Awesome Classic Aesthetically Flawless Large-Scale Prank !! Beats the best one I ever pulled by far....which was one day I had a bunch of pals believing there was a crack in the bluffs of a So. California town (in the neighborhood where we lived) after an earthquake; They fell for my Demo "fishing" and pulling up small pieces of kelp from a crack the earthquake left in the linoleum floor of my kitchen (with the reel adjusted just right and the seaweed placed on the hook when I seemed to be threading it through the crack for a hundred foot free-fall)hook, line, and sinker LOL. When they wanted to call the authorities and evacuate the neighborhood immediately, I had to tell 'em the truth. And the best thing about the WebNode.com Prank was that It told the truth in time, too, before the thing went too far. I just got back from my family Holiday weekend, haven't checked the thread, and can just imagine what must be on there by now!
Missed The Nodes By A Smidge,
