Or would it bother you if you didn't need to help crunch anymore? ~Sue~ ID: 1834248 ·

Last modified: 5 Dec 2016, 14:02:22 UTC I would think that for SETI's ongoing efforts, it would need continual funds over a long period of time. It's been almost 20 years and we know we've only scratched the surface. IOW - I don't think there's a lottery big enough to give to SETI that would fund it completely without need for additional resources over time. ID: 1834285 ·

Maybe:) Michael Trolin thought he was an ordinary suburban kid in Stockholm. He was not. His dad is a king in Nigeria. Michael Trolin learned that he is in fact a Nigerian prince, the son of Alhaji Iahaya Kwande Shagaya Qwalgurum II, King of the province of Kwande.
