    3 month contract on offer - £4500 per month

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7966731.stm

    What would you be prepared to do for money? For $6,500 (£4,500) a month, to be precise?

    How about the following: locking yourself inside a small metal container for three months without any communication with the outside world, with electronic monitors attached to various parts of your body and with frozen baby food and cereal bars for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

    To add to the fun you'll have five companions who will do everything possible to stop you trying to escape before the three months are up.

    Meanwhile, from a control room outside, a team of scientists will monitor your every move checking for any signs that you are starting to crack up.

    And banish all hope of finding solace through alcohol or tobacco. Both are strictly forbidden.

      What about books? Can you read? I'd do it, just to catch up on my sleep!

        If the 5 companions were all Carmen Electra lookalikes, I'd be in.

                At least one of the others in there with you is Russian.

                Imagine 3 months locked in a small metal container with aTw?

                  Do you get a PC with some MMORPG like WOW on it ?

                  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
