[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]Regardless of how silly this seems, this man is a very intelligent individual. You may call him an idiot for doing what he's doing, but if you look at the bids, you will see that this "idiot" has just made himself in excess of $20'000us.

Personally i congratulate him, his story has made primetime news in Australia, and also has been broadcast on ABC, NBC, BBC, CBS and FOX. Aswell as quite a few more (including Ten, Win and Prime news in Australia).

If it wasn't so expensive, i'd pay for kn advertising on there

The man\'s brilliant! .... I seem to recall having worse markings on my forehead and the payoff was nothing. For $21 000 I\'d happily have anything on my forehead.

In case you\'re curious about the \"worse markings\" ....
when I was about 10 my brother and I were playing Atari 2600 when we realized that the rubber joystick covers could be pulled off of the inner plastic core of the joystick... then in our infinate wisdom we discovered that you could squeeze the air out of this rubber cover and suction it onto our foreheads. We then proceeded to play video games for hours looking like 2 dork unicorns. Hours later we both started getting headaches and decided to remove our rubber horns only to find that we both had perfectly round purple lumps about 2cm in diameter and protruding to a wopping 1cm out from our heads. The next 2 weeks we had to parade around school like some type of freak show.
