    As a former high-ranking official of Norwegian space program I was able to secure some funds that government wanted to spend on more advanced space technology. I am pleased to offer honest and hard-working Slashdotters an amount of $50,000,000.00 (FIFTY MILLION US DOLLARS AND ZERO US CENTS) transferred to the bank account of their choice. Please leave your names, addresses, phone number, bank account and social security numbers (for tax purposes) as a reply to this thread. Ten of the highest-moderated replies will receive $5,000,000.00 (FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS) each.
