Looks like there's an AMA request on Reddit. Are you willing to answer some questions?

http://www.reddit.com/r/CamelotUnchained/comments/1biupj/ama_request_5k_backers/

(One of the most popular Reddits is IAmA ("I am a") where a user may post "AMAs" (for "Ask Me Anything"), or similarly "AMAAs" ( for "Ask Me Almost Anything") – prompts for others to ask questions any topic. AMAs are open to all Reddit users, and use the site's comment system for both questions and answers.

A number of notable individuals have participated in the IAmA Reddit, including President Barack Obama (while campaigning for the 2012 election), Chris Hadfield (who answered questions from the International Space Station), Bill Gates, Jimmy Kimmel, Ron Paul, Stephen Colbert, Bear Grylls, Deadmau5, Zach Braff, Neil Strauss, and Tim Ferriss.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Barack Obama's AMA is the highest rated on the site, as of February 2013.[20] On August 29, 2012, when the AMA occurred, the increased traffic brought down many parts of the website.[21]

Celebrities participating in IAmAs have found the experience a mixed bag, usually depending on how well they understand Reddit and its ethos. Woody Harrelson had a bad experience when he tried to run an IAmA primarily to promote a new movie; the audience wanted to explore other things with him, which caused conflict. In contrast, shortly thereafter, Molly Ringwald ran an IAmA that was received warmly; she explained that she had been lurking for a while, understood more about the community, and proceeded without an agenda. Harrelson's experience became a meme in other IAmAs, with Ringwald's shown as a contrast.)

    Would be really interesting. Would love to know what their reasoning was (I admit, if I had the cash I would, but man, I could probably find 5000 other things I'd like to do with 5000$ hah). I would really have to have just 5 grand just lying around is about the only way.

    It would also be interesting finding out what they do, or what the situation (if they can/would be willing to share it) was that allowed them to do it.
