Given the number of utter crap I get sent in my mail box, I could probably document an entire series of these. They are thin on the ground so far thanks to uni being shut for the summer.

Here's the first in what I hope could be a long series;

CAN YOU HELP OUR RESEARCH?

WE ARE LOOKING FOR HEALTHY FEMALE VOLUNTEERS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 20 - 39

We are conducting a healthy volunteer study to investigate the effects of
calcium fortified ice-cream on bone health. The study will require you to
eat one ice-cream each day for 28 days. The ice-cream you will eat will be
one of four ice-creams with different calcium contents.
There is an inconvenience payment for participation in this research.

The study will involve 5 visits to the clinical trials unit each lasting ½
to 1 hour for blood and urine sample collection.

This study does not involve any medications.

If you think you would like to help with this research, or if you would like
more information please contact the research nurse:

I did giggle when I saw that. In an age where looks are now everything and women are content with looking their best. What better than to pay them money to stuff their faces with ice-cream all in aid of medical research. One ice cream for 28 days, you can't go wrong really.
