How to spend Exxon's $41 billion profit

What could you do with Exxon Mobil's $40.6 billion profit for 2007?

Here are a few options:

_ Pay for a year's tuition and board at Harvard for about 900,000 students.

_ Buy 156 Boeing 747-400s or 812 Boeing 737-600s.

_ Keep it and move up to No. 4 on Forbes' list last year of the world's wealthiest people, behind Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Mexico's Carlos Slim Helu.

_ Build a stadium like the Dallas Cowboys' $1 billion project under way in Arlington, Texas, for all 32 NFL teams — and still have a little cash left over.

_ Pay for the public education of about 4.6 million U.S. children in elementary and secondary school for a year.
