    I had a post about PA, and then I deleted it. Not worth it.

    The rocketship is cool. As another news outlet posted: What's the best way to become a millionaire while running an aviation business? Start out a billionaire. :)

    Paul Allen is a frat dude who got crazy rich (not that there's anything wrong with that.) I think most of the things he's done are exactly what a 19 year old frat dude would do. Buy a pro football team, buy a pro basketball team, buy a couple huge yachts, build a couple spaceships, buy cool rock memorabilia, buy sci-fi stuff from old movies, and fund brain research and buy some art so that chicks think you're smart and sensitive.

    I though he was more of a chess club computer guy then a frat guy.

    Always giving his money away, head up in the clouds. Just another unselfish socialist.

    You're supposed to accumulate wealth all your life. That's the point of life.
