It was hard for me to put 3.2 billion dollars into perspective. That is about 1142 trips into space.

The Patch Tuesday
I'm kind of surprised this hasn't been posted by anyone.
An original recipe courtesy of Stephanie Thurrott and inspired by Mikah Sargent.
The Patch Tuesday:
3 oz whiskey
0.5 oz lemon juice
2 dashes bitters (because Patch Tuesday is a little bit sour and a little bit bitter)
0.5 oz honey (to add a little hope)
1/2 of an egg white
Shake everything together well over ice.
Serve over ice, ideally 1 large whiskey cube.
Garnish with a hard maraschino cherry.
Serves 2 because no one should drink alone on Patch Tuesday.

A Minor CAPTCHA Question
First off let me say that I don't do a lot of posting in the forums. I must like the site though as I pay for premium content.
I'm just curious as to why I need to check "I'm not a robot" to start a thread. I'm pretty sure that spammers don't give you their money.
