I managed to sneak a peak at a job posting looking for a Cirque du Soleil: O performer last night at the show. Requirements: Must have a winning smile. Must not have any phobia related to heights, clowns, being set on fire, drowning, or that scene in Gravity where Sandra Bullock went spinning helplessly off into space. Must be able to fold yourself into a shoebox. Must be able to suspend your own weight by one hand... while supporting the weight of a 1974 Volkswagon Beetle in the other. Must have medaled in at least one Olympic diving event, preferences given to those applicants who earned gold. Gills not required, but must be able to continuously breathe underwater due to at least one evolutionary-based (i.e., non-mechanical) adaptation. Must be able to see (and think, and dream) in at least six dimensions. Must have less than one half of one percent body fat and have not eaten a carb since 2009. Must work well with others. If your physical limitations disqualify you for a job as an O performer, worry not! There is also an opening in their set design crew: Must has completed a doctoral thesis by building a functional version of at least one of the following: A tesseract or other convex regular polychoron, Penrose stairs, or a space elevator. Must be able to fold time and space in a localized environment.
