U of Chicago Scavenger Hunt List - 2004

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the distributed-approach dept.

nightsweat writes "The list of items and tasks for the 2004 version of the infamous University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt (or scavhunt for short) is up as a PDF. As a veteran of the first hunt in 1985, I'm glad to see the youngsters carrying on the madness. Some of the highlight items - the URLs of the blogs of the judges, five pages of Queer Eye for Doctor Doom, A McDonald's Sad Meal, Mrs Potatohead giving Mr. Potato head, Eudaemonia (300 points!), and a permanent tattoo that says 'Sorry about the syphilis, can we still be cousins?'"

    "A demonstration of the edible electric pickle."

    I have attached a pickle to an electric cord to make it (the pickle) glow. But I'm not sure if it was edible in that state. First of all, it was emitting burnt-pickle smoke. Second of all, the eater probably would have been electrocuted.

    Then again, that's a small price to pay for science.

    Mrs Potatohead giving Mr. Potato head


    Comeon. They're married. Really, what are the odds of this hunt taking place on Mr. Potatohead's birthday?

    "...a permanent tattoo that says 'Sorry about the syphilis, can we still be cousins?'"

    There is probably a college student dumb enough to get the tattoo.

    They better post a picture.
