We should look into the possibilities. I don't want the first group to die due to something we didn't research.
CRAZY MONEYMAKING SCHEME:
We could spend all our budget on Euromillions tickets if there's a big rollover or something.
Pros: ~€200million anyone?
Cons: requires a serious overdraft at the bank of luck.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

Shoot.
IS ANYONE HERE IN A POSITION TO MAKE A HEFTY WITHDRAWAL FROM THE BANK OF LUCK?

Sprin: If that means what I think it means, we have hemp. If not, wrong number.

And, because I l forgot to do it sooner:
------+MADPLANS STATUS REPORT:SEPTEMBER 2012+------
Budget: $0 (owed 20, having reached size 2)
Expenditure: $0

New recruits: 4
Total: 5 (admin / high command) 0 (frontline troops) 0 (logistics and supply)

Ground gained: 0km2
Ground lost: 0km2
Net gain: 0km2

Current operations: Invasion of the dem. rep. of Congo. (planning)
Invasion of Earth (idea)

Superweapons/ WMDs: 1 (brainfreez)

TopHat's notes: the re-organisation of MADPLANS was a great success. Please ask me first next time though.
More military expenditure is required.

All hail DZA!

Again, are there any objections[1] to smuggling fake rhino horn and real drugs? These seem to be good sources of urgently needed revenue...

[1] I mean real objections, not some "This is not ethical!", "This is not possible!", "You are completely insane and a danger to the whole mission!" objections. All that stuff is well-known.

How's that an objection? That's business we can get into as well!

Do we know any arms merchants?

Just get some extremofiles.

Another problem might be if it is ethical to deploy these lifeforms on Mars. We might be destroying an entire ecosystem. We might kill the first extraterrestial live we ever meet.
Every survey and probe and robot has shown that there is no life on Mars bigger than a bacterium. Currently.
hang on hang on hang on.

we found bacteria on mars?
Nope. We're talking about the possibility of bacteria.

Fake rhino horn powder seems like a good busness. I think we accepted that?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

That's an awful business plan. You'd do better selling piss as lemonade.

No, you should start your own iron-refining operation and sell the molten, worthless globs as magic spiritual magnetic resonance pendants to increase your supernatural earth attunement. You'll stop making arseloads of cash when there stop being hippies in the world.

Also, I made you guys an ASCII mission badge!
