Your comment's amusing...certainly naive, but amusing. Where to begin?
Last I checked, there were something like 150 members. Money was raised through T-Shirt and hat sales (we had a guy do custom 'name' graffiti), and I wasn't treasurer, but some substantial amount of 'prize money' was provided by the MSU for competitions. Every year, McMaster hosts the "Steel City Cyphurs" jam, and Quarters is packed to the gills.
Here's a clip I chose at random from last year's event, which took place in Jan 2009 (you may or may not recognize quarters):

Last year, as I mentioned in a previous post, we flew in "Lazy Legs" an inspirational speaker who breakdances despite having an unknown, incurable spinal condition. He does his spins and tricks with his crutches:

(I'm featured in this video (: EDIT: Actually I'm not ): They cut out right before I started doing stuff, but you can see me present, haha.)
In addition, we've done shows to promote other clubs and a whole slew of fund-raising activities, such as helping to promote and collect donations for "5 days for the homeless" in front of the MUSC (among others).
So don't worry, everyone makes light of

EDIT: LOL ok...I dug up a very old video from 2005. It's interesting if:
-You like people making an ass out of themselves
-You like dancing (specifically, a dance form known as "Locking") It may not seem like dancing since there's no music in much of Mac...but I assure you it is.
-You want to see what the Mac Campus looked like in 2005 (Particularly, the games room has changed a lot).
(I am neither party in this video, but I knew both of them if that counts :p) :
