http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/The Million Dollar Homepage is a website conceived in 2005 by Alex Tew, a student from Wiltshire, England, to raise money for his university education. The home page consists of a million pixels arranged in a 1000 × 1000 pixel grid; the image-based links on it were sold for $1 per pixel in 10 × 10 blocks. The purchasers of these pixel blocks provided tiny images to be displayed on them, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to which the images were linked, and a slogan to be displayed when hovering a cursor over the link. The aim of the website was to sell all of the pixels in the image, thus generating a million dollars of income for the creator. The Wall Street Journal has commented that the site inspired other websites that sell pixels.
Selling pixels for money? Imagine how much it must cost for some of those larger pictures on that homepage...
I just noticed the special Olympics are on there, too...right above the "free domain" picture. There's also The Times newspaper.
and if you look at the "Free hosting" big red rectangle near the top, it says "No, we're not crazy. We're Americans!"
In fact there's a lot of funny things you can find on there if you look hard enough...
Hey look! Waldo is there too!
EDIT: twice...
