I
want to go back to the home base now.
THE INTERNET TREASURE HUNT (TEST for Sociology Students in Lane's class). Directions: This is a multi-faceted test and there are various levels of mastery. The first part is required, the other parts are for MONEY and GRADES (serious on the latter, maybe serious on the former). I have placed this test online at 10:30 TUESDAY nite, so don't feel frustrated since it was slightly delayed. Do the best that you can, but remember that YOUR intelligence and resourcefulness in getting around obstacles is PART of the test. ---------------------------- I have numbered the questions........ Good luck ------------------------ 1. First, you MUST email your teacher at his MSAC email address (don't have it?---search for it via infoseek.com or MSAC's homepage) informing him EXACTLY when you started the test. 2. Lane has a list of scum bag gurus on his website. Find it (clue: it is much easier to use a search engine---saves time-..... of course you have to FIGURE that out) and tell me who occupies position NUMBER 3 and position NUMBER 5...... 3. What is the most RECENT "headline" NEWS from Surfer Magazine? Be accurate (clue: think search engine). 4. If I wanted to get to Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Hollywood from Mount San Antonio College, what would be the fastest way via car? (clue: there is a direct mapping system via the internet that tells you EXACTLY which streets and freeways to take). List the directions (second clue: it is on Melrose, near La Cienga). 5. Lane has been a vegetarian for some 20+ years. At what age did Lane TURN vegetarian and which book (list the title) helped him understand the moral dimensions of the argument.... Big clue: "Why I Don't Eat Faces" (second clue: think about that title.... use it)...... ----------------------------------------- end of first part: to be continued on Wednesday nite, 10 p.m......... ------------------------------------ you can mail your results of the first installment immediately. Be accurate money at the end of the rainbow? ------------------------------ PART TWO (NOW ONLINE).... LET's roll: 6. Who is the Editor of Slate magazine and on what well known T.V. show did he appear on? (clue: think CNN). 7. How many websites (i want an actual number) are devoted to Alicia Silverstone and/or Brad Pitt? 8. Do a dejanews "profile" on your teacher and name the newsgroup he posted to related to dogs/animals (clue: http://dejanews.com) and/or hockey. 9. Who is Pierce Flynn? (clue: think surfing) Tough follow-up: how would Lane know of him? 10. Find the most negative comment already published against your teacher (clue: think newsgroups, think alt.religion.eckankar). ---------------------------------------------- Good luck and email the results PRIOR to class or BRING them into class. ----------------------------------------------
