Sleeping may earn you $10 per hr

Washington, August 2 (ANI): It's no more necessary to get up early in the morning and get ready for work, for NASA is paying people just to sleep.


"It's very relaxing at times. This is probably the most I've sat still in 10 years," foxnews.com quoted Heather Archuletta, a study participant, as saying. (ANI)


NASA's Flight Analog Research Unit says one way to recreate such conditions on the ground is for test participants to lie down with head slightly tilted back for 90 days.


They spend three months lying down, and the preparation and rehabilitation take up another month.

10 poison ivy myths

poison ivy

Recently I came down with my first case of poison ivy. And it's a doozy. A trip to the doctor last Monday has me on medication that's clearing it up quickly, though. I'll be happy to see it go away completely! Since this was my first case of the scratchy stuff, I did a little research online and discovered that a lot of the things I thought were facts about poison ivy turn out to be nothing but myths.

  • You can catch poison ivy by just being near the plants. Nope. You need to have direct contact with urushiol oil. However, weed whackers and lawn mowers can cause the oil to become airborne for a short time, so there is some truth to the myth.

  • Leaves of three, let them be. This is true for poison ivy, but poison oak and poison sumac are different.
