Via ...the musings of a psycho...:

Found this on the Freakonomics blog...

Tagliamonteâ€™s son lost his first tooth when he was nearly seven; the parents didnâ€™t know how much to pay, so they asked their son. â€œHe asked for one penny for his first tooth,â€? Tagliamonte writes, â€œbut wanted to double it to two cents for the second tooth, which was also loose. â€¦ Weâ€™re now up to 64 cents for the forthcoming seventh loose tooth with the stipulation that once he receives $10.24 for the 11th tooth, all subsequent payments, including the $5,242.88 payment for No. 20, will go into his 529 college-savings account.â€?

Damn! How could I miss this opportunity to make thousands of dollars!

Prashant.
