    Money and ethics notwithstanding.

    Me, something fossil related. Probably the London (Type specimen) Archaeopteryx.

    I chose a Sikorsky Skycrane, so if anyone needs a hand with carrying away any bulky objects, hit me up. 🙂

    Depending on how far “carry it away” is, I’m going with my bodyweight in gold bullion.

    About $3.2M at current rates, always a tradeable commodity globally regardless of the economy, government etc and if things go bad, opens the door to the black market too.

    I’m going for my body weight in the highest quality saffron.

    I’m going for a load of plastic bags. Which when Drac realises he can’t actually carry the Saffron and it’s now just in a pile on the floor, I’ll offer to trade half and half for.

    A couple of kilograms of anti-matter.

    At $62.5 trillion per gram, it’s expensive stuff.

    Could get noisy when you try to pick it up. :mrgreen:

    Assuming it must be a physical item, I’ll take my bodyweight in flawless cut diamonds please?

    If it doesn’t have to be physical, I’ll take ownership of Apple’s patent portfolio, thanks.

    a snare drum owned by John Bonham.

    Entering in to the spirit of the discussion (i.e. not what the most expensive thing I can carry) then it’d probably be a book or two – first edition of Origin of Species or Principia. Though I do like the fossil idea. Maybe a pile of moon rocks.

    Assuming its something I want to own rather than something I can flog, I reckon I could just about carry one of Barbara Hepworth’s smaller pieces…

    A nice new bike, after all you just collapsed the economy and removed value from anything around, must be time to go for a ride and sharpen my apocalypse gear

    Ah well if we are talking keeping said item, I would struggle to better the Hepworth or Rothko suggestions.

    I’m not, mines going in the water supply.

    Is this because you don’t know of any decent artists? *runs* *hides*

    I would look after him, promise. He could live in my spare room once I cleared out the ironing.

    Assume what you like. Here, have this glass of water while you’re at it.

    I’d go either:

    Fabergé Eggs, how many I don’t know because I’ve no idea how much one would weigh.. so maybe 30 if I’m allowed to carry them in Waitrose bags.

    Anthrax, I think this could become unstable if carrying in Waitrose bags but not many folks would come near me in the queue..

    Well 3.5g is enough to kill every person on the planet so a kilo is enough to do that 280 times. You’re Ernst Blofeld and I claim my spacecraft to get off this planet!

    Then again you could be one of these:

    A large gun and enough ammo to point at you all and relieve you of your newfound wealth. And use just often enough to show I mean business – no offence to those of you that have to be maimed/killed.

    Has anyone suggested for a shed I could nick off them to put it all in?
