NASA Will Pay You to Stay in Bed
Ever feel like you just don't want to get out of bed? NASA is prepared to pay you $17,000 if you'll agree to stay in the sack for 90 straight days, Wired Science reports. It's all part of a program at the Human Test Subject Facility at Johnson Space Center to study the effects of microgravity on the human body. But you have to be willing to spend the whole three months with your body slightly tilted downward toward your head -- at least most of the time.
