VoidEngineer writes "Well, it's that time of the year again... the World's Largest Scavenger Hunt has begun again. (This is the same annual Scavenger Hunt where the students built the breeder reactor, for item #240, back in 1999...) Anyhow, you can find the list here. This year, the competition is between 9 teams and there are 307 items. Nerdy items include, but are not limited to: #2 From the fetid swamps of Lotan to the teeming forests of Jojojop, Endor is an ancient, mysterious, beautiful land, deserving to be rendered as a full-color map fit for National Geographic, circa TA 3019; [51 points] #46 Mobius stripper. Must be non-orientable. Must not emphasize the one-dimensionality of the stripper's personality. [28 points]. #98 A piece of the Space Shuttle Columbia with NASA verification [155 points] #101 A hologram of an entire team member. [50 points]
#136 Explain string theory using only sock puppets. The Judge must understand. [19 points]"
I remember summer camp scavenger hunts -- we'd just have to look for trash on the last day of camp.
I remember back in the day, we'd bug the neighbors for different things, beer, wine, cigerettes, and ya know what? They actually gave it to us because they saw it on the list!
NASA has said that any one who is in poession of said parts will be liable for criminal conduct.
... and 155 points.
An original Idea for the scavenger hunt that doesnt weakly attempt to show how witty, creative, pretentious and just plain lame we actually are. The Judges must look like the morons they are. [242 points]
how about a LUG member who has had sex?
308. _______ An clear and understandable methodology that will enable scavenger hunt organizers and judges to get a date, finally! [532 points for an actual woman] [54 points for compliant farm animals]
Just one. Her arguments are all totally one-sided.

Last time I checked, we had a male strip club right across town.
That's nice. Exactly how often do you check?
Most CS/Engineering types I knew in college were practically -scared- of women, not beer-guzzling chauvenist pigs.
Heck, I'm still -scared- of women, but I have good cause, I was married.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
