CASTING CALL FOR SCIENTISTS AND OUTDOOR ADVENTURERS

Our host will be able to combine adventure with cutting edge science. Experience with high-tech equipment is also a plus.

Okay, I had been job searching anyway, but wow, this looks so super awesome.


My dream job list now includes:
1. Pirate Ninja
2. Funded Mad Scientist
3. Gladiator on American Gladiators
4. Host of geeky science show.



I realize that I have a better chance of getting struck by lightning or actually finishing an ironman or really of both happening at the same time than getting this job, but why not at least try?
