how perfectly swell: matthew prins (or matt prins, or thew, or...oh, you don't care) alone with his stupidity
Photographical scavenger hunt.
Each item listed in the scavenger hunt need be found. Your answer, posted in the comments, may be in any one of the following forms: (a) the answer, (b) a URL pointing to the answer, or (c) a note saying you have sent me an e-mail with the answer attached (which shall be verified by me, of course). If you cannot find the answer online, you may take a picture of the answer with a digital camera and send it to me via option (c). If you do not have a digital camera, you may (d) take a picture of it with an analog camera and write a note saying that you have taken a picture of this object and that once your film is developed, you will send me the picture, and I will stupidly believe you.
[Note: Because of the server problems, anyone who submitted an answer Tuesday gets half a point if they were the only person with the correct answer and a quarter-point if someone else also submitted one.]

i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
