MAGNIFICIENT SEVEN

Here it is, read careffuly :

1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – that’s perhaps the dumbest idea for online business anyone could have possible come up with. Do you know, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old who came up with the idea, is now a millionaire.

2. SantaMail

Ok, how’s that for a brilliant idea. Get a postal address at North Pole, Alaska, pretend you are Santa Claus and charge parents 10 bucks for every letter you send to their kids? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of the business in 2001, which makes him a couple million dollars richer. Full Story

3. Doggles

Create goggles for dogs and sell them online? Boy, this IS the dumbest idea for a business. How in the world did they manage to become millionaires and have shops all over the world with that one? Beyond me.

4. LaserMonks

LaserMonks.com is a for-profit subsidiary of the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Spring Bank, an eight-monk monastery in the hills of Monroe County, 90 miles northwest of Madison. Yeah, real monks refilling your cartridges. Hallelujah! Their 2005 sales were $2.5 million! Praise the Lord.

5. AntennaBalls

You can’t sell antenna ball online. There is no way. And surely it wouldn’t make you rich. But this is exactly what Jason Wall did, and now he is now a millionaire.

6. FitDeck

Create a deck of cards featuring exercise routines, and sell it online for $18.95. Sounds like a disaster idea to me. But former Navy SEAL and fitness instructor Phil Black reported last year sales of $4.7 million. Surely beats what military pays.

7. PositivesDating.Com

How would you like to go on a date with an HIV positive person? Paul Graves and Brandon Koechlin thought that someone would, so they created a dating site for HIV positive folks last year. Projected 2006 sales are $110,000, and the two hope to have 50,000 members by their two-year mark.

8. Designer Diaper Bags

Christie Rein was tired of carrying diapers around in a freezer bag. The 34-year-old mother of three found herself constantly stuffing diapers for her infant son into freezer bags to keep them from getting scrunched up in her purse. Rein wanted something that was compact, sleek and stylish, so in November 2004, she sat down with her husband, Marcus, who helped her design a custom diaper bag that's big enough to hold a travel pack of wipes and two to four diapers. With more than $180,000 in sales for 2005, Christie's company, Diapees & Wipees, has bags in 22 different styles, available online and in 120 boutiques across the globe for $14.99.

9. PickyDomains

Hire another person to think of a cool domain name for you? No way people would pay for this. Actually, naming domain names for others turned out a thriving business, especially, when you make the entire process risk free. PickyDomains currently has a waiting list of people who want to PAY the service to come up with a snappy memorable domain name. PickyDomains is expected to hit six figures this year.

10. Lucky Wishbone Co.

Fake wishbones. Now, this stupid idea is just destined to flop. Who in the world needs FAKE PLASTIC wishbones? A lot of people, it turns out. Now producing 30,000 wishbones daily (they retail for 3 bucks a pop) Ken Ahroni, the company founder, expects 2006 sales to reach $1 million.

Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs made his opinion that Cristiano Ronaldo was a better all-round player 18 months ago and not last season when Sir Alex Ferguson's men won the double.

The Portuguese has mostly won every individual award going - including the Ballon d'Or - for his performances in 2007-08, when he scored 42 goal in all competitions, as United lifted the Premier League and Champions League trophies.

The season before, Ronaldo scored 23 goals in total, still an impressive feat, but nothing compared to what he achieved 12 months later.

However, Giggs believes the 2006-07 season was Ronaldo's most best, and said: "That season Ronaldo was unbelievable.

"He scored 23 goals and made a lot, his overall play was unbelievable.

"Last year, in 2007-08, I didn't think he was as good. But he did turn himself into an even greater goalscorer.

"He's dedicated in every part of his lifestyle and the people he has around him. He has his diet, the way he looks after himself.

"He goes to the gym. He leads his life for football. He plays every game so he has got to be like that."

It is this dedication to his sport that mas made Ronaldo the world's best player and, as a result, attracted the unwanted interest from Real Madrid.

Only yesterday, reports in Spain suggested that Real have an agreement with United to sign Ronaldo next summer, though, allegedly, the clubs had not planned to go public over the deal until the New Year.

El Mundo newspaper quoted Pedro Trapote, who they claim is an associate of Real President Ramón Calderón, as saying: "If you are asking me what we are going to do now then I would tell you that we have already signed the best player for the summer.

"The best of the best. It is Cristiano, there is no other. It is better that we do not say anything at the moment though."

“Why can you not say anything. It is the best time because things are going badly and people need something to excite them in the middle of all this,” suggested the reporter.

“No,” replied Trapote. “It is best to not say anything because there are some clauses that prevent us from announcing it now. We talks about that late.
