NASA offers $5,000 to lie in bed for 90 days

You may think this ad will popup in some banner or advertisement inside suspicious websites, but NASA will happily pay you $5,000 to lie in bed for 90 days. It may sound too easy of a way to make money, but this experiment is happening for scientific purposes. Test subjects lie with their legs elevated, and the extended lack of muscle use is similar to what astronauts experience in space. Subjects are not allowed to do any physical activity, but they can watch TV, read or use computers. So, it might be your chance to get paid while you draw some sketches, learn Thai or write some short stories

People with serious health conditions are not eligible for this experiment , and any signups have to pass a psychological screening. Sexual activity is not permitted during the study, and there can be short-term and long-term side effects. Participants lose between 1 and 2 percent of their bone mass for each month they participate in the study, and that mass may never be regained.
