Yeah, that is not a "fully-formed startup", that is just some random thoughts.

Sadly, someone will make it, it'll become wildly popular, then it will sell to SGN or Zynga for more than most people make over 20 years.

What is sad about that?

My bad. I meant that the idea was fully-formed, not the startup. Fully agree that it's just some random thoughts.

That I will get spammed with invites to it until I find the time to log on to Facebook and block the damn thing.

The fuzzy bunnies are just not going to let this stand.

Were you perhaps in the bathroom during the last part of "The Holy Grail"!? There's just no way...

I don't think this qualifies as a full blown startup, but it might be something nice to do as a side project. Afterall, even side projects can be monetised, and if it brings home a coupld of beers a month, its still something. Moreover, you can add it to your skillset/CV.

I found the idea funny, hillarious and might be engaging, then again, I do have a weird sense of humour.
