So Google is getting in on the prize to land a private probe on the moon. $25 million is a lot of money.

Lots of people will attempt one thing or another.

Personally, I have a great idea that I've been kicking around for a while but never considered seriously until this came up. I need your help, however.

Please save all those empty aluminum beer bottles for me. Their shape, weight, and material are perfect!

I'd save them myself, but I haven't had a beer since 1994 and I wouldn't feel right about pouring all that Bud down the sink. Bad for the septic system.

And my garden is slug free right now.

I promise I'll reimburse you for the 5 cent deposit you'll be missing out on - if you live in a state with deposits on the bottles - once I win the prize money.
