a work in progress

lala and i have decided that we should create a scavenger hunt for su freshmen. one of those "you won't really understand it until you've graduated" kinds of things... just to sort of tease them for our own amusement, you know. if we put it on facebook, i'm sure they'd play, just on the off chance that all the cool kids really ARE doing it. but so far i've only managed to think of one thing to find, so i need your help coming up with a good list.

what have we got for them to seek so far? herpes. because the same damn case has probably been circulating around the bubble for at least a century now (because those who sleep around tend to have to sleep around with each other, etc.). hell, it's probably mutated and become it's own special strain. which would actually be an excellent paideia research grant, you know. the freshman who finds the herpes first gets to study it's uniqueness, with all the added benefits of having themself as a research subject (a fact that they may or may not choose to share, but you know someone's gonna find out eventually). i bet it's special enough that they can get a grant for it. no, really. think about this. and then they can have their picture in the little magazine (that sadly no longer features mark stoner in EVERY issue, so much for that source of amusement), and one day even have a building named after them. the new new science building, probably... only it'll still be attached to the old lab.

anyways. that's the idea. i think it has actual potential for idle entertainment. what should we send them after? run with scissors, children! go on, now!



p.s. if there's any possible way we could involve having them find a bobby in london who refuses to have his picture taken with anyone else...
