That "eating spiders in your sleep" thing is completely made up. I can't believe people still believe it.

1. I am a very heavy sleep and recall multiple times waking up because a bug was on my leg. Do you think a spider could make it across my face without waking me up?
2. Where did this number come from? Did they check people's stomach's every day when they woke up to see if a spider was in there? Did they video tape a bunch of people sleeping in their homes for months on end and go back and watch all the tapes to see how many spiders they swallowed throughout?
3. This started circulating in the early 90's, right when the internet was becoming a household item. Someone did a study to show that people believed anything they read on the internet. This was one of the facts they made up to prove that. Maybe I should have just started with this talking point.

It would be really rough.  I'd consider it for $50,000.

agreed. it's probably like 1 per year on average.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

somewhere in the 20-30k range now, but the price would go up as i get older.  i wouldn't agree to a 10k penalty, though.

Guys, be on the look out.  I have heard that ppl are circulating posts challenging very well known and established facts just to prove that a certain percentage of bbs'ers will believe anything.

Just watch out.

You'd also have to factor in the social factor

"Hey babe, want to go out for MRE and a movie?"
"Hey its my birthday, want to come out to Splurky's with us?  No, sorry, i have an MRE calling my name"
"Hey the boss man is taking us all out to lunch, think they'll let me heat up my MRE there?"

this would definitely be the hardest part IMO. And I just thought of traveling for work. Maybe I'm out, fellas.
