Why Is The Thermometer At $500k Already?

[Chester Copperpot]

GUYS WHATS THE DEAL.. it says $500,000 already.;. that cant be right.. it was at $200k or so before.

I don't know...unless somebody and his 150 or so rich friends just donated the max.

Hey, let's be optimistic. ;)

Edit: I closed and reopened the page, and it's now at a saner just-under-$250,000. Still, that's around $80,000 in a little less than five hours (I took a few data points before noon.) Impressive.

I re-set my page, and it's now at $250K, so I think the $500K was a malfunction. Still, it was at only $200 a couple hours ago!

They're trying to get the thing working...you guys are so on top of it that they can't spend a half hour fixing it while everyone starts wondering :)

Fixed, now at just under $250k *shrugs*

I think it must be some type of glitch. It was at a little under $250,000, then it went up to $500,000, then back to $250,000.

$500,000 already is a really nice thought, though. :D
