Have you guys ever heard of this?

http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million_Dollar_Homepage

It's two years old now, but the guy pulled it off in under half a year. It's incredibly brilliant. So here's the thing - I wanna get rich quick, too. But since I'm a talentless, uninspired bastard, I wanna leech of your ideas (based on the assumption that you all are creative and brilliant, but talkative and endlessly lazy). They can be internet based business ideas or products, funny, brilliant, half-cocked, nonsensical - I'll take anything!

So far, I've got:

1. Sky Pimp (introduce in-flight prostitution)

What can you people come up with off the top of your heads?

This is a noble goal, Bram. However, you should realize that being yourself is good enough. You don't need to be me to be happy.

Write a book on how to get rich quick and market the hell out of it until it becomes a best seller and you become filthy rich. I can see it now...

Get Rich Quick by: Bram
Step 1: Establish yourself in an online community.
Step 2: Ask that community to help make you rich.
Step 3: Actually listen to their terrible ideas.
Step 4:
Step 5: Profit.

Upgrade the drug delivery business idea from Half-Baked to include internet orders.

Granted, this already exists, but you sure can get rich if you're willing to break laws!

Can't go wrong with a solar powered flashlight I guess. 

You could try rigging the lotto?

Build a giant laser on the moon and demand lots of money.

Make a more efficient non gas powered car, sell it to big oil for profit, and then they will promptly destroy it.

While the post in question in indeed awesome enough to elicit that sentiment, I just checked my bank account and it appears I'm not loaded yet.

You could jump on the "give me $X, and I will/will not do Y" bandwagon.  Savetoby raked in lots of cash, I remember.

Unfortunately, being rich has nothing to do with the amount of money one has, but one's understanding of how money works.  The only way to become rich is to learn how money works, and have the discipline to follow a course once decided. 

One secret the rich know that most people don't: Don't work for money. 

Are you going to go to the big Vintage event this weekend?  I'd be happy to talk to you about how to set yourself for financial independence. 

The only other option would be an internet only event where you fight a horde of midgets.  You could have an object duck taped to your head, and take bets from everyone on which midget will end up with it.  You could give each midget a unique back story and weapon, and offer a huge bounty to the winner.

You could set up a pay-per-view style fight between the Lion and the group of midgets as was discussed so many times.  People on the internet will pay for some weird shit, and I bet you could make some money off it (especially if you got the midgets to agree to be paid AFTER the fight).  I mean, you might have to go to Eastern Europe somewhere to actually hold the fight, but you're pretty close to there anyway right?

One secret the rich know that most people don't: Don't work for money. 

That's the key. Pay other people to work for you and sell their services for more than you're paying them. Getting rich is as simple as that. The other way is to buy collectibles and hope they go up in price rapidly (a collectible is basically something with little inherent value that one hopes to sell for more than one paid for it e.g. art, magic cards, precious metals and stones, antiques, land).

You need to open a half-way house for chicks that don't go all the way.  You could promote it at your local fairgrounds.  Get a booth, hand out flyers for your new reform house and serve battered women.  Who doesn't like their women all hot and lathered up and dripping in oil?
