Sadly, I haven't had time for irrelevant poll questions in a good while. But I have some today, so...

A million dollars is an aawwwwwful lot of money, provided you're frugal (which I am). I'd be willing to do quite a lot of things as long as they don't have permanent consequences. (Posing nude I would consider to have permanent consequences.) And hell, even then. I did check "Carry someone else's baby" and I'd seriously consider giving up one of my fingers or toes, provided I didn't have to do the cutting myself. I'm way too much of a wuss when it comes to pain.

Oh, and a disclaimer: I'd be willing to run a marathon. I'm not necessarily able to. XD

Yeah I'm probably crazy for checking off the baby one, but ... dude, a million dollars O_O

Hahahaha I know right?

Oh yeah, and I just thought to add: I WOULD eat the excrement, but I'd be too worried about bacteria and risk of complications from that.

Well, but it's "run" a marathon, not "win" it - I'd sure as hell do it, who cares if it takes me ten hours instead of three like the pros XD

I don't know why balut is apparently grosser to me than excrement, but it is. Huh. (Also, what kind of quantities are we talking about? This might be clear from Survivor context, but I don't watch the show...)

I think my dividing line for the "$1 million" question -- in addition to whether or not I could do something safely -- is whether it's something I consider morally... difficult, I guess? I don't want to be a person who has killed an animal or hurt a human for money, so I didn't click those (this answer would probably be different if I really needed the money, which I currently do not).

I actually enjoyed being pregnant, and I think people who act as surrogate mothers are doing something really important, so I would consider that one. (Weirdly, I'd rather act as surrogate mother than donate an egg.)

It's a slimy cold bird fetus. You'd have to chew on the bones and ewwwww. Excrement (see it as extra smelly dirt with a pinch more toxins and bacteria) is preferable to that.

EWWWWW indeed. And, yeah, I guess I do kind of look at excrement that way. Also, having had to change diapers has sort of inured me to excrement. But I've never had to handle slimy cold dead bird fetuses (thank god!)

Not to me. Most of us eat birds and eggs, so you can think that the fetus is just some sort of disgusting halfway point. With shit...it's shit. I'm sorry, but smelly dirt is sooo much better, there's no comparison (yes, I'm pretty sure I ate dirt a few times as a child :P). You're probably just insensitive to the horrors of excrement as a future doctor. ;)

Maybe it's because I'm in an angry mood but I'd have no trouble punching someone in the face for a million dollars.

Icebirds are pretty. They're pretty rare here, but there's one of them who hangs out near our ditch.

My family goes camping every year. When I was younger our camping trips were three weeks long.

Ohhh, I'm jealous of your trips.

And yes, icebirds are quite pretty. :)

It depends on the mammal, I'm sorryyyy I feel awful but one time I hit a squirrel... I really really didn't want to or mean to and I tried to stop but there is NO SHOULDER on Highway 9 and there was a car coming in the other lane and omg omg omg :[ I would take $1 million for that. HAHAHA. But yeah :\

I agree I would have someone ELSE cut the finger for me, but could not do it myself ugh no way.

And I didn't check it either but I'd also pose in Playboy AS LONG AS it wasn't too explicit. I mean I've seen some centerfolds that are mostly just legs and shit and hell yeah I'd do that FOR A MILLION DOLLARS (that is not what they pay though), plus I have a nice rear end, but eh I don't think I need go go showin' my business around. I would be much more inclined to pose nude for art or some shit; I'm not ashamed of my body or anything but I don't know if I want to it to like intentionally cause boners for a bunch of guys. FOR SOME REASON, the thought of guys just jacking off to my plain ol' rear end also is not as bad as thinking of them ( ... )

I would eat the balut, but oh my god, the cockroaches... I run screaming in the other direction when I see ONE. Not exaggerating. Even just thinking of them turns my stomach. Ugh, ugh, ugh.

I don't think I could ever kill a non-human mammal... not even a mouse. If I was in danger from it, then I could do it in self-defense (obviously not referring to the mouse here), but I couldn't just kill it. And yes, I eat meat, and yes, I realize it's hypocritical. :(

I don't know if I could carry someone else's baby... it would be really hard to give it up at the end. If I had already had children of my own, it would be a possibility, I suppose. I do have a lot of respect and admiration for people who do act as surrogate mothers, though!

Heh - I 'm sure your position on this would change if you were in a situation where you were in danger from STARVING and whatever animal was your only food, so I don't think it's all *that* hypocritical. ;)
