AUSTRALIA is still accepting applications for the "best job in the world". A successful candidate would be paid A$150,000 ($96,000) to live on Queensland's Hamilton Island for six months in an oceanfront villa. Responsibilities include exploring the islands of the Great Barrier Reef and shooting promotional commercials for Tourism Queensland. The window for applying closes on February 22. About 11,000 candidates from around the world have already applied, including someone posing as "Osama Bin Laden". In the 30-second prank video application, which features real footage of the world's most infamous terrorist, Bin Laden describes himself as "outgoing", "familiar with sandy areas" and experienced with "large-scale event coordination". Tourism Queensland, needless to say, rejected the application.
