It starts with One Red Paperclip

After almost a year, and about 14 trades, Kyle MacDonald has gone from one red paperclip to a house in Kipling, Saskatchewan.

His aim- to keep trading upwards until he got a house, starting with a red paperclip. His previous trade got him a role in "Donna on Demand", which the whole town of Kipling gave him the house for. Kipling plans to do an American Idol style competition to see who actually gets to act the role.

I won't bother you with the details of all the trades (check out the above website instead), but it's one of those unique internet phenomenons, that will likely go down in blogging history.
