I heard an ad on the radio the other day for IndianaUnclaimed.com, a government website you can check to see if you've got any unclaimed money or property lying around. I shouldn't have expected to find any, since I've only been in Indiana a couple of years, but I was still a little bummed that there wasn't a huge windfall waiting for me. "No matches," it said. Oh well.

But wait, I thought! I have those Google ads that been sitting on my personal website for a year, and the traffic stats indicate that there are a few pages on there that get a lot of hits. Let's see how much ad revenue I've racked up...

Total Earnings..........$0.07

Damn, that was depressing.

But then I heard that President Bush is going to be handing out wads of cash to everybody so as to get the economy all stimulated. This got me to thinking... if I were to get one of these wads, and instead of spending it on booze and hookers like the President wants me to, I put it my savings account or paid down some debt, would I be breaking the End-User License Agreement of the cash wad?

And what if everybody who got a cash wad did that... would the President look at the numbers and say "looks like them cash wads didn't do enough stimulatin'. Better give out some bigger wads!" If so, then maybe I'd use some of my second cash wad to stimulate the economy. Seems only fair.
