Just a quick reminder back to the Spec article that included the infamous Stinson napkin quote. Here is the exerpt from the interview:

Quote:
To pass muster with the owners, Stinson said, any new offer from him will have to include proof of substantial outside financing.

"I appreciate that, and I wouldn't have the nerve to show up and say, 'Here, I've got another napkin with some ideas written on it.' "
The entire article can be found here

No word on whether the napkins had any stains from peanut shells, which obviously would contribute to the project's failure...
