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?

At Southampton Universitythey had a thing called the Institute of Vibration Research. They once gave me a fiver to sit on a chair inside a tall barrel shaped thing, which was painted inside with thick black and white stripes, like a humbug. Then, they span the barrel around faster and faster until I felt sick, at which point, you banged on the barel and they let you out through a little door.
You were then given your five quid and shown to the bog.
Something to do with motion sickness I think..
