a proud achievement 

170.  Using stop-motion animation and the tangible medium of your choice, demonstrate that a donut or a coffee mug is homeomorphic with a human.  [15 points for a donut, 20 points for a coffee mug]

back to the '93 list...

186.  A bed of nails with someone lying on it.  (15 pts)

i've done this, although not for scav.  in fact, i probably did this not too long after this was a scav hunt item, since i know it was in middle school when i got to lie on a bed of nails.  it's really not that scary -- it was for a science demonstration at school.  they were demonstrating distribution of weight, and explaining that if you were lying on hundreds and hundreds of nails, you'd have so little weight on each that you wouldn't get poked.

still, classmates of mine were scared to do it.  i, on the other hand, totally understood what they were getting at -- and was able to lie down on the bed with no fear, and no scars.  hooray, science!

i can understand this, as a scav hunt item, potentially being a very tedious one if no one knew a performing organization (or a science teacher, ha) who had a bed of nails handy to lend out for the greater good of Scav.  you'd have to put in a lot of nails to do a proper bed of nails -- so that would mean finding a scavvie who really liked to hammer, or letting scavvies go in shifts until the bed was completed.
