    27b/6 is awesome, thanks for reminding me of that! My personal fave is the Missing Missy one

    Edit: Gamerprinter's post reminded me of a story my dad told me about some work he did a few decades ago.

    My dad is a classical musician. Everyone in the orchestra he worked for was offered two alternate contracts for recording the music for a prospective project: one in which they were paid a set amount up front, one in which they were paid a fraction of a percentage in royalties. To the last person, they were almost certain that this project would be unsuccessful. Their music being their only means of income, they couldn't afford to gamble on that kind of thing and so chose the up front payment.

    The project was a film, titled Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The royalties contract included a percentage of all subsequent income from this and any other films in the series.

    You can imagine how my dad feels about that contract choice now!
