US man’s quest to make potato salad cooks up $50,000

Seva Lamberdar wrote:All Zack Danger Brown wanted to do was make potato salad and find a few dollars for ingredients. He has amassed 4,000 supporters, and at one point on Tuesday, about $50,000 in financial support from a campaign on internet fundraiser Kickstarter.

"Basically I'm just making potato salad. I haven't decided what kind yet," the 31-year-old Ohio man wrote on the campaign page.

He was initially asking for $10 to make the picnic side dish, but word quickly spread about his endeavor, which became a global sensation.

"The thing people are responding to is the opportunity to come together around something equal parts absurd and mundane. Potato salad isn't controversial, but it seems to unite us all," Brown wrote on an "Ask Me Anything" session on Reddit.

Hello Mr. DUT!
Is it dumb day in this forum? In ref to the post in the other thread (Germany leading Brazil) I will agree with you..there are some dumb men, and there are some dumber women, and some men and women who can make each as dumb as it gets! 

Hope all is well. 
Good afternoon dear Seva!
