can you post the link to this. I'd like to read more.

On a side note after reading this I got this picture in my head sort of like a money truck fresh from a bank pick up getting hit on the highway and everyone stopping to catch the money as it floats through the air trying to get a hand full. I was picturing the mess of people, the traffic back up, and people getting hit by traffic and hurt.
