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?

I got paid to fly to the UK to be on a video crew to tape Chinese musicians and a vocalist (also flown in from the US) performing 14th century Tang dynasty music for a documentary on an ethno-musicologist that lived in Cambridge. I got to nose about in places in the University library and various colleges that would normally be off limits "to tape b-roll".
they gave me a nice suite of rooms by the quayside and £30 a day stipend that was mainly spent on pints and buying silly stuff at boots and woolworth's.
to my knowledge the documentary was never produced.
