I dont mean to be negative but you dont impact anything or anyone with a 5$ commitment. All you do is provide a temporary band-aid, if even.

Send it oversea and see all your money get lost/wasted as administration fees. Spend it locally and your bum will only spend it on booze or cigarettes. Your best bet is buying food and giving it to some kind of local charity or shelter, altough its a laughable amount they will gladly take it since they are barely getting by as it is.

CEO's are as useless as a third niple, or any niple on a man...

Edit: I guess you can spend it on flyers to give out to people in order to raise awareness or money toward some sort of charity but it seems hypocritical for an "apparently" successful company to commit only 5$ to such kind of donation.

What makes a second nipple worthwhile but a third nipple useless? Isn't the second nipple redundant? Might a third nipple add something of worth, even if it's not worth quite as much as a second nipple?

Aesthetically pleasing symmetry?

A single nipple at the midline achieves the same symmetry. Like a single penis on the midline.

I had thought of this, but in the case of women I figure a single centrally placed breast would be inferior to the current setup. Nipples for us men are entirely redundant too I suppose!

I shall strive not to derail any further, but this discussion did amuse me.

Why though? Redundancy? One breast fails and the other can still produce milk? What about multiple nipples on one centrally located breast? That would alleviate nipple chafing from over-sucking. And three seems only marginally less useful a number than two for that.

Where do you work and how do I get a job there?

Edit: You probably shouldn't even bother with the $5 actually. I think the idea is what can you do, with almost no resources, not, what can you do with $5.

Setting up a fundraiser, or some kind of donation for doctor's without border's or adopt a child, or ask people for old clothing, furniture, glasses, anything, and give them to homeless people in your community...

There is lots of things that you can do.

Maybe start a petition to ask your CEO for a huge donation for a good cause and get people to sign it so your CEO can not say no.

Well, seems to us. I mean the simplest explanation in that we evolved this configuration because in some way it was more efficient, albeit it's possible that there are more efficient layouts possible but it was the first one that achieved a standard of adequacy for the purpose.

You can try something like the people did with the red paperclip trades on craigslist. Who eventually traded the red paperclip for betters stuff each time and got up to a house or something.

Use the $5 to buy lunch with a homeless person. Sit down and talk with him for a while too, that can be just as valuable if not more so than the lunch.
