In comments to my previous fundraising incentive offer, tceisele asks a good question:
Just out of curiosity: if you will read "The God Delusion" for $1000 [in donations], how much will it cost just to get you to stab yourself with a fork?
(based on my statement that I'd rather stab myself with a fork than read The God Delusion).
It is, as I said, a good question, and deserves a good answer: $750. For $750 in new donations by the end of the day Friday, I'll stab myself with a fork.

So...how much to get Richard Dawkins to stab you with a fork, then?

I guess that would require some strategic donating-- more than $1000, but less than teh full Challenge. You might need to consult a game theorist for that one.

You'd have to ask him. I would imagine it would depend on the cost of airfare from the UK.
On my end, two grand.
i've been meaning to get off my butt and donate... and this is the entry that did the trick.
no, i don't want to know what that says about me. :)
