Those who aren't heavily into baseball may not have come across this story yet, but it's worth a read. Dodgers player Matt White purchased a 50-acre plot of land in Massachusetts from his ailing aunt for $50,000 and found out that it was covered in $2.4 billion in slate-like metamorphic rock!

I would like that to happen to you too. It would be nice to have someone on this board be able to share what it feels like to experience such a thing. That's the only rule. You would HAVE to tell us EVERYTHING.

Not only would I tell you all everything, I'd even make a blog about it. With my own cash!

Oh, and I'd buy all NN'ers an iPhone. Even those who hate it!
