Right.
I have had a lifelong curiosity about certain types of knowledge...
Like the knowledge of owning an Astin Martin. The knowledge of driving a decked out LandRover. The knowledge of owning an eight bedroom, eight bathroom house on the Gulf. The knowledge that I own my own island...
Yes, the funds will be put toward the pursuit of knowledge.
Oh yeah.
There's ALL sorts of knowledge I wish to gain...lol.
Just kidding, James. However, the reason Ed did not patent the device is because the only application he could think of was the lifting of rocks. He wasn't an exceptionally worldly fellow, you know. There may have been one other reason, but I'm not completely sure yet, so I won't say anything about it.
The closest motive I have to being "selfish" is the fully funded education of my 2 (now 3) children. Colleges in America run about $30,000 (45,000 pounds) a year.
ouch.
A foundation of sorts would be nice. So that it would benefit more than just my 3 children...perhaps a regular scholarship.
Of course, help with the wedding expenses would be GREATLY appreciated right about now...lol
Thanks for the ideas.
