Wow, I could really use one of those...oh wait, I don't have $1 million. Hmm, I know, I'll take that barrel of surplus liquid mercury I found in that abandoned warehouse, pour some into a dinner plate, point it at the sun, and stare at it for hours on end! Ooops, I spilt some, oh well, I'll just use this washcloth to wipe it up...wow, this stuff sure is fun to play with....I wonder what would happen if I filled a clear trash bag with it, got inside, and went as the Terminator for Halloween!! I'll bet I'll get lots of candy that way! Hmm, maybe -I- could sell myself as a $1 telescope, point me in the right direction, and bam, you've got a view clearer than that of Hubble, for a fraction of the price!
