If you had a billion dollars: What are some truly bizarre or weird or eccentric things you would do?

Does anybody else remember the original SeaLegs fake crab legs? Thin layer of fish goo cooked then rolled into a tight tube shape and a swoop of red to not really look like a crab leg? OK, now “meat glue” - or transglutaminase, it turns scrap sized bits of protein into what seems to be solid cut of meat, if you have had the deli boneless ham from a big formatted loaf, that was made with meat glue. Cloning undifferented tissues is doable but only in thin sheets because the nutrient is in a bath not blood vessels.

Now get this - clone a segment of crab muscle, nice 4-5 cell deep sheet. Meat glue. Format into a faux crab leg, or shred for salad/filling, hell just format into a brick for the ultimate crab sandwich =) Same with lobster or shrimp, or any vanishing species of fish. Other than the ‘steak’ fish like shark or swordfish, we don’t really look for a solid hefty muscle like mammal. It seems if we can get the flavor bang on, probably something in the nutrient broth. I personally would never boil a live swimmy thing again if I can get a close enough version that was economical. And it would be preventing overfishing.

Alternately, in the same vein of overfishing - found a cod farm up off Greenland/Iceland/not sure and farm cod like we do salmon. Granted, the real critter surimi is more likely to happen. I could start it out as a seriously expensive exclusive thing =)

Buy myself an annuity totally separate from my billions and handled by a management/legal company. It would go into 2 accounts, 365,000 for my annual ‘allowance’ with the balance going into an account that is used to otherwise manage my million a year that pays for my home, vehicle, insurance, medical and whatever the expenses I have are. I doubt I would be living in a 10K a month flat in Manhattan, probably a nice comfortable house on enough property t have a small lake on it and I need a van to haul my chair around but they are not always expensive [I like the momvan sized sprinter] My main account would be the one that invests in projects, and any interest and profits go back into making more. I would also buy and refurbish buildings for ultra low income people to try and help with the overall homeless situation. I might try and put a workspace in each building that runs as a small call center or data entry center or something to be a bootstrap job. If I could help 50 people a year get into a better situation, it is well worth the time and money.
