NASA Recruiting Pillownauts to Lie in Bed, Pay Up to $160 Per day

Yes, NASA is currently recruiting "pillownauts" to study the long term effects of micro gravity on human bodies. Essentially, the recruit would lie in bed for weeks and get paid up to $160/day for doing just that.

You see, these "pillownauts" experience nasty side effects like sore feet, muscle weakness, headaches, toothaches and runny noses/eyes.

Damn it...I applied for this a few months ago. Didn't get accepted. I met all their preferred requirements, but I think I'm not quite as old as they'd like, Astronauts all seem to be in the late 30's-40's...
