Last November, Bezos put up $42 million to build a 10,000-year clock in the mountains near one of his homes.

Well, that sounds useful. Then again, it's his money to spend...

In a world where everyone if being affected by the economy, and the government is trillions in debt, where does one get $42 million to just throw around ?

I like what what Paul Allen is doing with his Fighter Heritage Collection.

The B-25 Mitchell they just finished restoring is beyond magnificent.
