Do you like science? What’s your take on industry? Because if you like both and are willing to spend some time in Chicago, you can apply to spend [A Month at the Museum](http://www.msichicago.org/matm)!

Apparently, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is having a contest to find someone who is willing to live 24/7 in the Museum from October 20 to November 18 of this year. During this time, you’d be seeing pretty much every damn thing the museum had to offer, I guess. They’re offering $10,000 for your troubles along with some extra goodies. They also have a commercial [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSFLTPzq3nI) on YouTube.

So could any of you do do this? If not at this museum, are there any other museums you’d be willing to do this for? I’m not sure I could.

Hey, that’s pretty much been my job at times, except I got to go home to sleep.
