I'd hoard it and use the massive attendant power base to slowly take over the government, then order the military to replace all of its weapons with rocks and clubs and invade the most backwards hellhole I can find. After kitting out the natives fully with armor. After about four years (with the highest casualty being a broken thumb, caused by friendly fire no less), I'd declare war on the Moon, nuke it to atoms, and unilaterally pass an emergency war act replacing what was left of Congress with flamingoes. By government order (enforced by my jackbooted special police forces riding around in black helicopters), all TV stations would be forced to play the Sundance winners or any other movie that's actually any good. Then, I'd have a massive propoganda-saturation campaign suggesting that the only way to protect oneself against the inevitable Moon-man counterstrike would be to dress up like Lucille Ball.

Then, I'd spend the money buying a large island in the Carribean, and move there with about two hundred largely female attendants (hand-picked) and the rest of the country's nuclear arsenal. As a last act as secret leader of the US, I'd pressure France to invade Maine.

LOL, dude.

Think about what a guy could do with that kind of scratch, I could buy my way into high :buuurrrraaapp: society.

I'd start my own space program, research subspace, and hunt me some shivans:D

[color=66ff00]I'd get educated in high level robotics and help in the effort to build a new robot for Mars exploration. I'd also pump a lot of money into libraries and various interesting research projects.

Also I'd buy an OC768 connection. :drevil:

The rest? I'm not sure.
