#robigus

Roman Calendar - April 25, Robigalia An agricultural festival to appease goddess Robigo* and protect grain fields from disease such as wheat rust. Flamen Quirinalis led a procession to the fifth milestone of Via Claudia where wine, incence, blood and entrails of a red dog and a sheep were offered to the goddess. Games were also included - e.g. chariot races and a running contest from the milestone to Rome. * = gender is uncertain, some ancient sources, like Varro, claim that the festival was named for the god Robigus

Item #13 It’s a well-known fact that Pablo Picasso was a huge “Supernatural” fan. He painted portraits of Mark Sheppard, Jensen Ackles, Ruth Connell, Sam Smith, Richard Speight Jr., Matt Cohen, Jared Padalecki, Andrew Dabb, Rob Benedict, Misha Collins, Bob Singer, and many of the other cast and crew members. Sadly, until now, these great works have been lost to the world. Fortunately, your team has unearthed one of these priceless works.

Item #18 Recreate a painting by Goya in candy.

Item #107 Did you see the startling news on the front page of the newspaper today? Of course you did. Using Photoshop, replace the front-page photo with a photo you’ve taken of a play-dough re-enactment of the original photo. Did that make sense? No? Figure it out. You are not allowed to email support for ANY clarification on this item. (What I lack in eloquence, I make up for with capriciousness.)

Original news story above, recreation below (obviously lol)

Item #47 Submit two images, side-by-side. Recreate a famous, iconic photo from junk food. For example, you could submit the black and white photo of Einstein sticking out his tongue, next to another photo of your best attempt to recreate that photo using various junk foods as your paints. I hope that makes sense. For some reason it sounds confusing as I type it. But you have to somehow figure out what I mean here and then do it. Best of luck.
