I invite anyone: former Millionaire contestants, contestant hopefuls, regular fan or anyone. Do you want to play a game of of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire for 1 Million virtual dollars? I know you want a challenge

Life Lines

50:50
Phone a Friend: PM, IM, Email. Etc one person
Google-It or ATA(It's hard to have an ATA life line when your playing online)
Switch the Question (after 25,000)

The Money
1 Million
500,000
250,000
100,000
50,000
25,000
16,000
8,000
4,000
2,000
1,000
500
300
200
100

The first person to post get's to play.

obvious rules: You aren't allowed to research these answers online, in books or other sources they must all come from your own knowlege unless you use a life line. We are on the honor system. Why cheat? no actual prizes are awarded

You know, that tells you how non-effective the campaign is. i couldn't remember the company. I associate the gecko with GEICO far more than the cavemen.

Ya know, Regis wouldn't let me drink a beer while I was in the Hot Seat. Too bad this isn't for real money, or it might be better than the real thing.

Hmm... I didn't think about that "new york" thing, although old is still the best answer.
