Oh rats, seems like they're only about $1.99. Probably not such a great earner unless we order a trillion. Or how about business cards? Can't you get them done free on the internet? Then people could have a little stack to hand out to office wankers as and when they meet them. With plooptionary.com on them! Yeah? Yeah? Why not offer a third of your share to someone to do the actual work? Who could give a third of their share to some other people for a £500 admin fee each? And I could just sit here until my Porsche arrives. Hmmm - having an idea for a new diagram. A pyramid shaped diagram. Er dunno. Oh rats, seems like they’re only about $1.99.

Jake you'll need to get a soap box and shout from it to earn your share. It appears from cafepress we could get mugs and tshirts done - they don't get printed until we actually sell something.
