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.
