  1. I'm a copy cat with these counting threads, but who cares they are fun
    and interesting. In this one you type how much you have spent on
    unicycles, not exact if you don't want, but just try and get a close
    amount, then add it to the running total. I think it will end up more
    than 500,000 million dollars, if everyone posts.

    $118.00 (will double in about a week though)

  18. In some ancient cultures counting went something like, "one, two, three,
    many." Not only am I afraid to audit my uni expenses for myself but my
    wife would certainly kill me. Thus, I have spent one, two, three, many
    dollars on unicycles and related stuff.
