from National Public Radio

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County was looking for someone to wear a saber-toothed cat costume for its new show about the Ice Age. The Los Angeles Times reported that the job calls for wearing a full body suit that is "extremely hot" and "claustrophobic." More than 100 people applied. The museum decided to hire three people part-time.
