That's right, two posts in two days. I forgot about this story. I thought it was quite ingenious. The story is about someone who has created a machine that will give the person minimum wage. All it is is a handcrank on a box that is calibrated to spit out the correct amount of money to equal minimum wage as the person turns the crank. It comes to about 1 penny for every 5.04 seconds of turning. Turn the crank - get paid. The longer you turn, the more you make. Meaningless? Yep! But, it earns a wage. :-) What can I say? It's as brilliant as some ideas I've seen. Here's the link.

As always, it just shows that people are weird. Right?
