NASA wants to pay you $17,000 to stay in bed for 90 straight days

Participants will spend 90 days lying in bed, (except for limited times for specific tests) with their body slightly tilted downward (head down, feet up). Every day, they will be awake for 16 hours and lights out (asleep) for 8 hours.

Although, if you think about it, that only comes out to about $68k/yr.


Another legend gone

A very talented and close friend of mine in college (with whom I am sadly no longer on speaking terms) was hugely influenced by Rauschenberg. Even if you don't like or don't get his work, it is hard to overstate his impact on modern art.
