Live a Month At the Museum of Science and Industry
theodp writes "Even usually snarky Gawker loves the idea of living in a science museum for a month. Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry is 'looking for someone to take on a once-in-a-lifetime assignment: spend a Month at the Museum, to live and breathe science 24/7 for 30 days. From October 20 to November 18, 2010, this person's mission will be to experience all the fun and education that fits in this historic 14-acre building, living here full-time and reporting your findings to the outside world.' Oh, and if you're The Chosen One, you'll also walk away with $10,000, a package of tech gadgets, and an honorary lifetime membership to MSI. Visit the Month at the Museum site for details and to apply — the deadline is August 11th."
MSI Diary......
Day 1 - today went ok, Got bored by 11:00pm spent the night in the Submarine pretending to shoot boats on the lake... .... .... .... ....
Day 10 - Tired of people looking at me, Museum officials told me that I cant flip everyone off.. I am sick of the coffee at the cafeteria... Tonight I'm going to see if I can get the solar challenge car out of it's exibit and try to run laps around the damned train.
Day 20 - Police arrived for the 15th time tonight... They are getting angry when I set off the alarm and ask the dispatch lady that calls for them to bring me doughnuts or pizza. I was yelled at for putting celebrity names on all the fetuses, I guess some little girl lost it when she saw "Hanna Montana's aborted baby Sally", stuck on the 14 week old.
Day 30 - Been hiding in the ductwork for 5 days now... they cant find me but I can hear them looking......
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
