A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

IN SOVIET RUSSIA, SCAV HUNTS YOU! Matt reminded me that the 2006 University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt list is out, and, as always, it's a doozy:

80. Marzipander to our marziphantasies! Your marzipanoramic marzipanoply should include marzipansies, a marzipanzer, marziPeter Pan, a marzipanda, a marzipangolin, a marziPan paniscus, marzipanpipes, a marzipancreas, a marzipanther, and marzipots and pans, but should by no means create marzipandemonium. Presenter must be suitably attired in marzipants. [23 points]

94. An Obama-signed Obama sign. A Keyes-signed Keyes sign. An Obama-signed Keyes sign. A Keyes-signed
Obama sign. [2 points; 2 points; 4 points; 4 points]

124. Who wears short shorts? Why, tenured faculty members, of course! [10 points]

167. Hostess Pie ads featuring the characters and styles of the following: Neil Gaiman's Sandman, Alan
Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Art Spiegelman's Maus, and Frank Miller's Sin City.
Mmmm, pies. [5 points per ad]

211. That's a hell of a book, Dr. Seuss. What do you call it? "The Aristocrats!" [12 points]

Past lists going back to 1987 are available here, but go find us some more goodies for 2006.
