Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry Wants to Let Someone Live There for a Month

by Jamie Frevele | 3:14 pm, June 27th, 2011

Last fall, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois invited a woman named Kate McGroarty to be their “roommate” for about a month. For 30 days, the museum was her home. While she did not have to spend countless hours with talking statues or resurrected animals, she got to spend all her time discovering every little crevice of the museum and completely immerse herself in science. It was such a fun experience for everyone involved, and now, someone else will get the same opportunity. And that someone could be you! Come on, you’ve always wanted to experience a real-life version of From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

Well, isn’t that a whole lotta shiny stuff, huh? Above is a ring by nOir Jewelry worth $1,000 that Warner Bros. wants to give to a “lucky” contest winner.

So, what’s all that stuff on it that’s worth $1,000?

Ring is solid brass plated in Rhodium with Cubic Zirconia stones in pave setting and a glowing green precious stone, simulating the essence of the Green Lanterns’ power.
