What would you say if I told you you could make thousands of extra dollars a year by sellling something that you don't need anyway. You'd jump at the chance, right?  Now what if I told you that you could make up to $13,000 a year selling....your poop.  How you ask?  It's all in the name of modern medicine.

A company called OpenBiome is paying people $40 per donation for their poop.  You even get an extra $50 if you can donate 5 days a week!  What are they using your waste for?  People who suffer from serious gastrointestinal issues need a certain bacteria in their GI tract to fight off the illness.  If they lack that certain bacteria, they can get it through a fecal transplant.  Amazing!  You're donating your poop for science!  There are a few catches.  You have to pass a series of rigorous tests, and you can only donate at the comapnies headquarters in Massechusetts.  But, wer're closer to the day when you can sell your waste to make someone else's life better.  God bless science.
