What with the economy and all I thought I'd give a cheat sheet for anyone interested in the approximate worth of your body:
- Brain: $10/hour for university psychological studies.
- Hair: $1000 for 10 inches in good condition.
- Inner Arm: $240/month for twice-a-week platelet donations.
- Eggs: $7000 to $10,000 per donation.
- Hip Bone: $450 for bone marrow. (Withdrawn w/ a 5-inch needle, though)
- Body: $600 to $10,000 for pharmaceutical trials. (Depending on duration, risk, and invasiveness)
- Kidney: $35,000 to $100,000 apiece.
Also, evidently less than 1 percent of American men take their wives names. Interesting.
