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?'"

    Accurate? You better believe it.

    Not really. It's a stereotypical derogatory comment, not really based on ANY real conflict. Not even World War II (and much less on other big conflicts, WW I, Napoleonic wars); it was british that fled, via Dunkerque. French actually fought valiantly, if you actually read accounts of that part of WWII. But hey, don't let facts get in your way when you have a beef with nations that don't agree with US imperialistic ambitions.
