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?

Money For NothingI was in the bank on a busy weekday afternoon. I had to pay off my credit card (£200) and transfer £100 from my current account to another account.
Paid the Card OK but the lady behind the counter said they had run out of transfer slips. No Problem, just fill out a withdrawal slip and then a deposit slip. This I duly did and the money was transferred. When I got home I looked at the receipts the withdrawal was for £100 but the deposit was for £200.
The lady behind the counter had not noticed, and a quick check at the cash machine indeed revealed I had gained £100 from thin air. And they never asked for it back. Woo!
