User:Mr. Billion
There was only one man capable of pulling off an operation this big... The notorious Mr. Billion.
Mister Billion occasionally putters around with this "Internet" thing that the kids are so hot and bothered about these days.
The name originates from a certain Calvin & Hobbes strip, which I've been unable to locate. Here's every Calvin & Hobbes strip ever made. If you browse them, please let me know if you happen to come across 1) a strip where Calvin and Hobbes are discussing the nature of conversation, with Calvin arguing that conversation is necessarily competitive; or 2) A strip taking place in the classroom in which Calvin attempts to solve a math problem and slips into his Tracer Bullet fantasy world, concluding that the only possible "culprit" is "Mr. Billion." Vast riches await the person who can find these treasures for me by the next full moon.

It would be good to think about this, too, though. According to a joint Action Aid/Oxfam report, only about a fifth of international aid makes it to where it's intended to go. (I'd be interested in reading the report itself.) Some wealthy countries have actually reduced their international aid budgets since the 1970s. Perhaps a better way to help the less fortunate would be to petition your representatives in your respective Congress or Parliament to address these issues.
