prakslash writes "AP/The Tennessean reports that a Nashville entrepreneur, Shane Messer, has created an international treasure hunt game called 'Find Those Weapons: The Hunt for the Real WMD' by using actual public documents related to the American invasion of Iraq as clues. Messer's treasure for finding those imaginary weapons of mass destruction? A solid gold trophy, a bag of cash and a barrel of oil, according to the game's website." According to the rules, "If no one... claims the trophy by Election Day 2004.. [it] will be sent to George Bush."

Actually, RTFA. The guy is a "left-leaning Republican"... He doesn't agree with the way it was handled, but he says he really does believe there are WMDs. The whole thing is a publicity stunt to get $$$ to make it through law school.
