An article in today's Guardian concludes by saying that a Dutch vacuum cleaner salesman's company owns knol.com. I guess he's willing to part with the domain name for 1,000,000 Euros.

That's probably because they've not yet ponied up enough Euros to buy
www.knol.com   and/or  www.knols.com

Would imagine there is SOME amount that would convince the owner(s) to
