[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not me, but a friend on FB posted this recently on one of those tell us X number of things that people don't know:
[quote]I willingly let five Mosquitos carrying malaria bite my arm for $3000 when I was in college. It was part of a study trying to find a vaccine for malaria - they finally found it 8 years later. Surprise mom. Yea I never told my parents about that one.[/quote]

For me, the weirdest thing was I used to participate in race-based housing tests.  I'm a Asian guy and I would get assignments including background information and I would call to visit rental agencies and sales offices for condos and ask for tours and information to apply to rent/buy.  Sometime +/- 3 days of me, a white guy would go to the same place with virtually the same background information.  We would both take the tour, talk to the agent, request an application and leave.  We would then have a questionnaire and write up about the experience to see if they were appropriately applying the fair housing laws.  Out of about 10-12 visits, I think we only found one glaring case of an agent who just didn't like Asians (or non-whites).[/quote]

Two of the most interesting anecdotes so far. :D[/quote]
