    Anybody who has seen that episode of the Twilight Zone, The Silence, will know where this one came from, but if somebody offered you half a million dollars to go a whole year without saying one word and you were kept in a room during the whole year where they could monitor you and have microphones hooked up so they'd know you didn't say anything, would you do it?

    Me personally, survey sayyyyys: no

    Doing something so unrealistic for that small an amount of money is inconceivable. I would need to be promised Oprah's bank account before I even thought twice about such an idea, and still it wouldn't be realistic.

    $500,000 for someone being driven off the cliff to insanity....and that's just what that scenario would do.

    I'd never agree to it because I know I cannot do it.

    I don't think it would be possible for me even if I wanted to do it. So no.
