Stay in bed for 90 days straight? Your body would be f*cked up afterwards. Not worth it IMO. I'll just blow my load into a plastic cup a couple times. Fun and profitable. lol

There is one prob about this I couldnt deal with,
deciding between a bed pan or NASA's butt vacuum.

90 days? thats my whole summer, thats losing all my friends, losing my gf, losing my car, losing my freedom.

**** THE 17k more like 170k if u ask me.

I dont think that even people in prison would be up for this.

astronauts who've spent lengthy stays in space have suffered serious repercussions.Our bodies have evolved mechanisms to deal with a certain amount of gravitational force--namely, the amount present on Earth; reduce g and blood pools in the feet, muscles atrophy and bones lose their density. It can take astronauts (or cosmonauts) months to readjust to the Earth's gravitational force.

The fuk.

dude.. all i'm saying is.. if i could do in the bed.. what i do all day long at work.. i'd be all about it.. as long as i don't get bed sores... and what not...

i'd actually like to see what the human body does to itself after that long....

well ya probably can't, i mean it's not like they're paying you to see if you carry on a normal life, just confined to a bed. they're there to see how fvcked up your body gets, how much muscle atrophy and other sh1tty things you go through and just what you'll come out like after 3 months. you might as well be tortured.

but you're right, i would like to see what exactly happens, so go ahead and sign up for it :goodjob:

*nerd alert* I'm not even gonna lie... give me a laptop and my World of Warcraft and I'm good lol. Takes me 5 and a half played days to hit 70 if I'm being efficient... But I choose freedom lol.

I'm gonna laugh when you guys who sign up as a joke get a call in a few months and are like "oh chit!"
