"The Corporation" Theoretical question

[henrikrh]

I watched the movie "the corporation", very good, informative and coherant. Left me wondering, and bare (bare or bear? I feel dumb) with me here because I don't know much about business, if a corperation is legally treated as an individual, could a real individual (me) go public and sell shares of myself on the stock market? Say I wanted to float 49% of me in shares, keep 51% for myself, maybe I get a better job and my stock goes up, float some more shares, whatever.

Is this crazy enough to be going somewhere or just plain retarded?
