Try and think outside the box. Think about things you can do without using the 5 dollars at all. Think about what other resources you have at your disposal aside from the 5 dollars. Here's a write up about the Challenge http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/creativityrulz/200908/the-5-challenge Good luck! | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Do a good deed with just your own person. Then find a way to spend the 5 dollars into it. Like volunteer to help out in an orphanage or kindergarten for 1 day, by small prizes for the kids to win. Or buy pet food for an animal shelter. The best thing you can do probably involves a couple of hours of your own time.

Invest the 5 dollars in a big ass sign "Donate Here". | ||

About the only thing you can do with it right now is give it to a charity and hope for the best or do something to put a smile on as many people's faces as possible and hope lightening people's moods casts a spell of good will and pay it forwardness for a while. The planting some stuff idea is a good one too. Buy a bunch of veggies, grow them, and donate them to a soup kitchen. The $5 would in theory keep itself growing forever as long as you can keep plants alive. | ||

Or two breasts are visually reminiscent of buttocks and was a sexual advantage for attracting mates. | ||

Who eventually traded the red paperclip for betters stuff each time and got up to a house or something. That's a "solution" that doesn't actually "create" anything, but only takes incrementally from others to accumulate wealth, which it seems is exactly the opposite of what this company seems to champion. How about using the $5 to spend on public transportation to take you to a homeless shelter / soup kitchen where you can spend the day volunteering ? | ||

As for whatever choice I end up making I will post results on here so you can see what happened. As for my business, I work at Productivity Associates Inc. We're a small help desk (about a hundred employees) that does technical support for business around the United States and parts of Europe. | ||

I've found that too in my experience. They're often lonely as hell, I mean people walk past them all day, maybe give them cash but don't actually seek to engage in conversation | ||
