why are rich people crazy?

i was reading this article from forbes about camps for grown-ups being the new "it" thing. they get to go play baseball and astronaut or whatever. okay, yeah. maybe i can get that as someone that's been playing papier mache, nintendo and shrinky dinks in my free time lately. but then, the article went on to talk about CRATE wilderness trips.


here's what it said,
"It's an opportunity to challenge yourself," says Taylor Nations, who has participated in three CRATE wilderness trips along with her husband, Scott, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade. "Can I sleep on the ground for eight days in a row? Can I bathe in a river for nine days? It's an opportunity to see what you're made of."


sleep on the ground for 8 days?! bathe in a river for 9?! what what what!?! i know some people who do that. they live under the bridge and come out to ask for spare change. but at least they are getting paid. taylor and scott nations from chicago, it's time for you to get off the crack rock!
