UChicago scav hunt

<p>I dunno, should I post this? Do other colleges do this? Quote from S's recent e-mail:</p>

<p>"i dont think they had "scav hunt" when you were there. do you know
about it? it's probably the world's largest scavenger hunt. its 4 days
long with about 300 items. one item involved dressing up as characters
from "pinnochio", driving to some canadian city in a car decorated
liek monstro the whale, and challenging several locals in a bar to a
match of extreme dodgeball.</p>

<p>one item was "a circumcision". hopefully it was worth a lot of points,
because someone actually got one."</p>

<p>Thanks. We all needed that.</p>

<p>"University of Chicago -where fun goes to get circumsized." Nope. I like the old way better, but that's pretty good.</p>

<p>BTW, talked to a Chicago frosh's dad tonight . He said his son was eating it up. Having a ball and trying out many different courses. Sounds very pleased.</p>
