Buy a piece of Australia - Queensland infact

Remember the million dollar pixel rage back a few months (several even) ago started by a student? Where you could *own* a piece of your own internet history? Then all the similar-but-not-the-same-and-yet-unique sites popped up offering similar offers or those infamous books on how to get-rich-quick-and-maybe-get-broke-trying?

Well now it seems the greeny folks at Green Globe have done the same, only in true down-under-style giving away a 1 square meter of Australian soil for a low-low price of USD$39.90 (Does that include GST?) but wait theres more!

You also get:
  • A personalized Deed of Grant of Land, which proves ownership.
  • A Certificate of Title, which indicates the exact location of the property.
  • A gift card with your personal message.
And if that wasnt worth it, you'd also be helping restore the natural "sub-tropical forestry that used to cover this part of Queensland"...

Unlike harbouring the biggest load of spam-sites/junk sites (there are some good ones true) that MillionDollarPixel page is, your actually getting something decent... heck if you ever come down under to visit the theme parks you could drop in to your piece of land, maybe setup a tent (1m by 1m) like those toilets on construction sites...
