A MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND TRADITION UNLIKE ANY OTHER:  Yes, it's University of Chicago Scav Hunt weekend, and here's the 2011 list.  Highlights:

  • Re-cut Disney's The Lion King into a sub- five minute video that summarizes all ve seasons of The Wire. [15 points]
  • The most evil thing you can build using the only the parts and materials included with one IKEA item. [15 points]
  • A Congressional Medal of Honor. [25 points, 25 points for bringing the recipient too]
  • An XFL jersey. [20.01 points]
  • In 1961, a Soviet surgeon stationed in Antarctica removed his own appendix. This year, we will perform a far more difficult maneuver. Lying on your back with a game of Operation on your chest, remove all twelve organs without setting the buzzer o more than five times. Be sure to have an attending Judge present in the operating room when this feat is attempted. [18 points]
  • Dan Lacey has created his incredible tribute to Barack Obama riding a unicorn. But why don't the Republicans ever get any love? Bring us a painting of Dick Cheney, naked, riding a Kraken. [12 points]
