Default 17k for 3months of lying in bed

Need a break from the working, walking, and standing required by the demanding and stressful life you lead?

Well, pack your bags for Houston because NASA wants to pay you $17,000 to stay in bed for 90 straight days.

Losing around 6-7% of your bone density throughout this test? Absolutely not considering it may never return. Not worth it.

Give me a personal chef, a 50" plasma, an XBOX 360, and a "nurse" and I'm sold. Shit, just pay my rent and bills, and I'll do it for free.

I think I'll stick with my day job... I can't imagine lying in bed all day, every day, even if I did have a bunch of games and such to play.
