Kicking Asteroid
The US House of Representatives is considering a bill that would give amateur astronomers a $3,000 reward for discovering near-Earth asteroids.

Huh? Only $3,000? I'm sorry, but if I suddenly come across information that could save billions of lives, potentially avert extinction of all mankind, and save civilization as we know it, I'm holding out for at least five thousand.
