ALS cold showers...next!!!...
 
The billionaire nerd/emiritus response to ALS cold showers. Can't wait to see Elon Musk's state-of-art tech contraption.

I'm not really sure what this is but maybe we ecomodders could do something similar ?

How about we do this a video it, and each one donates towards clean drinking water to those who don't have it ?

I only post this as an idea - I'm prepared to dunk!

Confused by this, however why not - I'll dunk and have it videoed if it means a kid somewhere has safe water, how is this bad ? I'm not a beach body (quite the opposite) but who cares - we come in all shapes and sizes.

I don't know how to organise this online so I put it out there.

How about you Mcrews ? Its a bit of water (albeit ice cold) only ? :thumbup: If sponsored some kid and/or family gets safe water.

Win win. :snail:

Come on in, the water is freezing...

Does this really make any money or is it similar to taking your first selfie?

Not that it isn't a good cause, but I was really taken aback at how phony gates came across. There wasn't ANY ice in the bucket, so that was a copout, and what is with the propane torch applied randomly to the thing?

If you do this, I expect to see ICE, and lots of it :) And don't bother pretending to "engineer and build" some cheezy device.

The 24 hour response...Elon Musk's shower was kid-friendly (his 5 sons) but tech underwhelming. The haterz should know that the viral hashtag #icebucketchallenge or viral altruism has already raised $1.35 million dollars for the ALS Association's largest charity. Last year in the same time period they only raised $22,000.

So thats the secret? Put it on the internet with a hash tag?

What did you expect from Bill Gates?
