The House That a Paper Clip Built
From Times Wire Reports
A Canadian got the keys to a three-bedroom house in the town of Kipling, Saskatchewan, exactly a year after he offered a red paper clip online as a trade for “bigger or better” things.
Kyle MacDonald, 26, first traded for a fish-shaped pen and later moved up to an afternoon with rocker Alice Cooper. He snagged a Hollywood role in his 14th trade and got the house in a swap for the bit part, which the town plans to use as a contest prize. Kipling also plans to build the world’s largest red paper clip.
