    I would give half of it to the Hillary campaign for dicta..er.. I mean president and the other half to the UN to continue their positive influence around the world since they do such a great job managing money and handling world crises.

    I would buy a hunk of land somewere in France, rename it Texas sucede from France and invade! Sure its unoriginal but hey, wouldnt it be nice to finally stomp out the french question?

    Errrm really, i'd buy a nice car and donate the rest to some charity. Large sums of money seem to f**k your life up, and property taxes are ugly bastards so no house. I'd much prefer a slightly more peaceful world.
    Wine is a bit different, as I am sure even kids will like it.

    I'd get it all in $1 bills and roll around naked in it. Then I'd most likely sufficate from all the money pressing down on me.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Can't say that I would quit my job, because not working at all would be boring as hell. Maybe get an agreement to consult or do part-time work. I would have to have something to do, maybe get into charity work.

    Upgrade my residence and vehicle somewhat, but nothing too extravagent.

    Use extra spare time to play more video games. What can I say, I'm a geek.

    Can't say I would better myself, but I can't see myself going downhill either.

    In chronological order:

    Help some poor people I see buy buying a dozen meals or so and distributing them.

    Indulge my great family a bit.

    Buy some Swedish Fish (this will be with the current $2.47 in my pocket).

    Get a couple of matching sets of shower curtains and bath towels for a sense of unity in my bathroom.

    Offer TosaInu and KukriKhan as well as the EB members compensation for their great work.

    Get new socks.

    Either...

    a. Buy an island and become the benevolent dictator
    b. Finance a small war to get control of a chunk of land which I will afterwards proclaim myself benevolent dictator

    ...to begin my dreams of changing the world for the better...

    And if I have enough money, I might indulge in myself and buy a dream Alienware rig...
