So I sign up to do this research project, where they promise fifteen bucks for an hour's worth of participation. They're studying how genetic engineering of food affects demand for that food. They test this by having little "auctions" for Cookie A, Cookie B, Muffin A, Muffin B, etc... And you're supposed to bid on this stuff based on what you'd be willing to pay for it. What they didn't tell you until you got there was if you win the auction, you actually had to buy this shit. I walked out of there with two bags of chips, two candy bars, a cookie, and a muffin (which I gave to Editor John, because I don't like blueberries). I still ended up with thirteen bucks, though, so that's cool.
