YES I KNOW WHERE YOU CAN SCORE 40 CCs OF PIG’S BLOOD, BUT THAT’S NOT THE MOST INTERESTING PART.

I was off today. Jealous much? The wife wasn’t. So since I was alone, I made a pact with myself to try and be productive. Start 2011 off right. Get organized. Do all the stuff I put off in 2010. Well I’m happy to report that I put in 45 minutes of real solid work. The rest of the day was spent (in ranking order)…

1-surfing porn (soft core)

2-mindless surfing

3-TV watching

4-video game playing

5-surfing porn (weird core)

While I was in my TV surfing stage I watched a bit of Joss Whedon’s ANGEL and one of the TWILIGHT movies (don’t ask me which one).  Both of those movies left me with one aching question.

So what's the most intriguing part? At first I thought it was the fact that they had all kinds of blood. However the real kicker is the price list. How the hell do they decide what costs what? Here's what I'm talking about... 

RENT YOUR BODY TO SCIENCE FOR AT LEAST $62

With this economy sucking rocks 24/7 I don’t take any cash opportunities lightly. I’m just geographically undesirable for these experiments. And sadly out of the age range for some of ‘em. But hey, one blogger’s misfortune is another blogger’s elective medical torture for cash. Courtesy of Craigslist.
