Highlights of '08: Time to Think the Unthinkable

Grant Clelland at Financial Times believes that here are any number of ways that the economy can be stimulated including:

• Invading Mars
• Building Pyramids, or
• Tunneling to Australia
  
  Plus some ideas that are not as creative and probably not as effective.

I believe at least one of these ideas was stolen from Frank J at IMAO who first proposed
A Realistic Plan for World Peace
a.k.a
Nuke the Moon

But hey, that was back in 2002 and deserves to be resurrected. And invading Mars is way different.
