Strange things you've been paid to doI once spent two years being paid by the UK government to play Quake.
What's the strangest thing you've been paid to do?

When I was in Uni (Insert long ago year here)I participated in a paid study on the short-term effects of certain tobacco products. I was picked for the cigarettes and recieved $5,000. for the two month study. I got the cigarettes for free and smoked about a pack a day.
Pretty nice getting the money when I needed it, the only problem was I couldn't quit.
That was 15 years ago and I still smoke a pack a day.
(What made them want non-smokers for a smoking study)
Funny thing was I went back to the study director and asked for help to quit and he said,"That was what part of the 5k was for, didn't you read the contract?"
