Life Sized Mouse trap – And 3 Other Weird Crowdfunding Projects
Remember that kids game “Mouse Trap?”
It took forever to set up, and if you got the pieces assembled JUST right, you could set off a Rube Goldberg style chain reaction…
(Usually it took longer to set up than it did to play)…
Well, expect to see a real live sized version of the classic game in the very near future…
A Mark Perez is behind a new successful crowdfunding project and he’s been raising the funds needed to complete the project, and ship it to the east coast… including a real safe dropped from a crane, a real bathtub, and weighing in at over 50,000 pounds…
Crowdfunding is really exciting, because projects like that used to be the stuff of pipe dreams. Now, with less than $100 and an hour online, you can go to a crowdfunding platform, set up a “project page” and start accepting donations to make your wild idea a reality.
I’ve come across three other weird crowdfunding projects recently that made me stop and smile, and I just can’t help but share them with you:
Weird Crowdfunding Project #1) “Bugsy” raised $271.12 to go on a road trip to Georgetown to see Richard Branson speak, with the hopes of sharing a beer with him…
Weird Crowdfunding Project #2) Jerry Paffendorf started his crowdfunded real estate project called “Loveland” and over the course of about a dozen projects raised $11,833.00! The way this crowdfunding project worked was hilarious, you could buy “inches” of property in Detroit, MI through “Loveland” and actually go visit the spot you bought and set it up the way you want!
Weird Crowdfunding Project #3) The Natian Brewery got $1,825 in crowdfunding donations to start up a micro-brewery! Crowdfunding + Beer =Awesome in my book 
There are literally thousands of examples of great ways people have gotten paid to make their passions and side projects real. Crowdfunding is changing the way people think about what’s possible online. Just think about it, in a week or two, you could be well on your way to crowdfunding that book, movie, album, or crazy adventure you’ve been dreaming about…

Weird Stuff $4.99 Brian Hobble isn’t much of a writer-he’s more of a soccer player. (And sometimes he’s not much of a soccer player either!) But one day he borrows a pink Easyflow pen from Nathan Lumsdyke, during his favorite author’s school visit, and suddenly, he can’t stop writing. Unfortunately for Brian, the pen only writes flowery, embarrassing love stories, even in his science test. Brian can’t wait to give the weird pen backuntil he realizes Cassandra Wyman is a lot more interested in writing than she is in soccer.Be sure to look for Richard Tulloch’s other book, Freaky Stuff! |

Weird And Gross Bible Stuff $5.35 “There is something for everyone in the Bible and Weird & Gross Bible Stuff proves it. Boys ages 8-12 will love reading about the bizarre and almost grotesque facts that are part of the stories of the Bible. (Like King Eglon in Judges 3:21 who was so fat that an 18 inch sword got lost in his belly.) The weirdness will keep their attention, but they will also learn the lesson of Luke 2:52 – how to become Smarter, Stronger, Deeper and Cooler for God.” |

Stuff $5.99 Stuff is the nickname of our hero, Simon (because he knows a lot of weird stuff).

In Stuff’s own words, here is how he tries (and fails) to run away from home. How he tries to get off with the beautiful Sky, and dump girlfriend Delfine (without being beaten up by her psycho brother). In fact, how to get through life as a teenage boy. |
