Man Trades Up From Paper Clip to House

[Andrew Green]

July 9, 2006 — Kyle MacDonald's goal was simple — to trade one red paper clip all the way up to a house.
The 26-year-old Canadian began his quest almost a year ago. He had no job, but he had the paper clip and a Web site.
"It went from a hobby, where I played it on a whim, to the point where thousands of people were showing up on a Web site," MacDonald said.

That's an hour from here. One of the guys I work with has an office there. The handing over ceremony is this afternoon - I wanted to go, but I've got other stuff to do. Pretty neat story though, eh?
