Fun thing to do with $1,000,000:
Buy the rarest stamp in the world, the [[British Guiana 1c magenta]] (only one known to exist); last known value $935,000. If you can't get the owner to sell, you might have to settle for another rare stamp such as an [[Inverted Jenny]]. Anyway, get a rare, priceless small paper object. Then feed it to a goat. Take the goat's feces and mold it into a modern-art sculpture, and exhibit it at the [[Brooklyn Museum]].
And this will benefit Wikipedia... how?
Well, um... I guess you can release the sculpture and pictures of it under a free license to allow illustration of Wikipedia coverage of this project and any controversy you manage to stir up about it without resorting to fair use or anything else unfree.
Yeah, that would be a nice idea, but it would benefit just one or two articles. Any other ideas?
