Who is the REAL Superman???


WILL THE REAL SUPERMAN PLEASE STAND UP


Wassup everybody,

Ok. So I'm sitting here this afternoon watching the NBA, Cleveland Cavaliers Vs. Orlando Magic. For those that don't know, I'm from Ohio and, by default, I'm a Cavs fan.
Those of you who follow sports know there's a big debate right now going on about Cleveland Center Shaquille O'Neal and Orlando Magic Center Dwight Howard, both extremely large men who adopted the nickname "Superman." How did this all begin?'


About two weeks ago, Shaq called out Dwight Howard after a game for trying to "steel" the nickname from him saying "Superman, MY ASS!!!"
Dwight responded saying, "Last time I checked, I don't think [Shaq] owns the name."
These two guys are going at it right now on the basketball court in Orlando and they're both battling pretty hard. Shaq's bigger and stronger, but Dwight's younger, faster, and has a better jump shot.
But we're going to settle this debate right now.
WHO IS THE REAL SUPERMAN, and why???
Shaq is a lot older and has had a Superman "S" tattoo on his right arm for years, but Howard is known for wearing a red cape with the yellow "S" on it before games and during slam dunk contests.
So the scav hunt topic today is the Man of Steel. First off, find me a photo of Superman's likeness and post it here. Or just answer today's question... WHO IS THE REAL SUPERMAN and why??? Here are your choices...

A. Shaquille O'Neal
B. Dwight Howard
C. Clark Kent
D. Christopher Reeves
E. Dean Cain


Enjoy.

Cuttest Waiter/Waitress

Hi Everyone,
The 2010 ScavHunt is getting interesting, and thanks to you all for participating so far. If you haven’t been, you can start today. Today’s theme is “Cutest Waiter/Waitress.” What you need to do (and it doesn’t end today so you can keep doing, at least, for the next couple of weeks) is take a picture of your cutest waiter/waitress, either in a bar or restaurant. It will be great to have you in the picture as well, if you’re not camera shy. And please caption the picture – the name of the bar/restaurant and maybe the name of the waiter/waitress. You can either post it here or on our Facebook page (just search for "2010ScavHunt" on Facebook). Thank you.

Hottest Celebrity Gossip of the Week

Celebrities. We love to hate them, don’t we? Well, among other things, they are, at least, keeping some people in business – the TMZ’s, Peoples Magazine, etc. And don’t we just love the gossip – who is in who’s bed, who is in rehab, which couple is getting divorced (and what the settlement is), etc.

We are kindly asking you to send in your hottest celebrity gossip for this week. You can contribute on our face book page (just search for 2010 NYC Scavenger Hunt on facebook) or tweet to our twitter account (http://twitter.com/2010ScavHunt). You can update everyday or as and when something scandalous comes up. Lets keep the “gossip” conversation going. Thank you for being a part.

Sports -- Tiger Woods to Break Silence



Hello Everyone,

Our item for today is sports.

Still on top of the list is “The Tiger Woods Saga” of 2009-2010.

A vague press release, string of mistresses, and weeks of hiding later, Tiger is now ready to ‘discuss his past and his future and apologize for his behavior’ in a press conference to be held tomorrow. Since admitting to infidelity, Tiger has been on an indefinite break from golf. Yes, what happened was a private issue between him and his wife but he also let down his fans and particularly those who looked up to him as a role model.

In my opinion, Tiger should have come out with an open, honest and truly remorseful admission in the beginning. With a portrayal of transparency and humanity he would have been well on his way to rebuilding the brand we all knew and respected.

So the questions are:

1. Is Tiger simply out to “make nice” just because he’s ready to get back into professional golf or he really is sorry?

2. How would you grade him based on how he’s handled the situation?

3. If you were to counsel him before his press conference tomorrow, what would be your advice to him?

4. And lastly will he ever get his “Tiger” back? How can he do that?

We’d love to have your take on this.

Did You See That? Movie Goofs and Blunders

Are there really subliminal messages in Disney films? Is that actually a ghost or just a cardboard cut-out in Three Men and a Baby? I've always found these movie goofs and blunders very entertaining. Check out some of these clips that have made it past directors and into the final cut. Also, be sure to share some of your favorite clips with us!

See anything that shouldn't be there?





Three Men and a Baby - 'Ghost'at 0:36?


Teen Wolf - Indecent Exposure?

During the championship game scene, the crowd comes running onto the floor to congratulate the wolf man. While Michael J. Fox is hugging his dad, if you look to the left side of the screen, you will see a guy with his zipper way undone. I'll let you find that clip on your own!

UPDATES: Take a look at these clips some people found.
Can you hear the cat whisper something?

Celebrity Look-A-Like

Today’s hunt item: Find your celebrity look-a-like.

Celebrity lives are entertaining, lavish and dramatic; they produce stories that can only be told in glossy- page magazines. But how do you feel when you get that unsolicited comment…you look just like so and so. Does your celebrity look-a-like make you cringe, get defensive (I do NOT), or smile graciously? Maybe it depends on whether the star is famous for his/her talent, beauty, addiction, or sex tape.

OR MAYBE, in light of today’s celebrity culture, any celebrity comparison provides a tiny piece of validation. You have a face that gets attention. Perhaps, we even secretly feel triumph when a stranger says we resemble someone we admire?

Well we want it all. The celebrity look-a-likes that make you blush and gag. We’d also love to hear how you feel about this comparison, so send us some comments. Happy Hunting!


I routinely get compared (mostly by males) to Stacey Dash. I take it two ways: as a wonderful compliment, she is a beauty, but I also become cautious. Usually a cheesy pick up line is next. GAG!

UPDATE: We found famous faces on Facebook. Where is yours?

Happy Presidents Day!

(Mt. Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota)

Happy Presidents Day!

Today Americans celebrate the history of their Democratic process by honoring our Presidents, past and present.

All over New York City there are tributes to the Presidents. Today's project in the scavenger hunt is too snap off a picture of an object that has been named after a U.S. President.

Remember when you are searching that you do not have to think of statues or monuments, there are many other ways our Presidents are honored.

I got things started here by submitting a photo I took from a cross-country road trip I was on a year and a half ago. Created with Dynomite, Mt. Rushmore honors former Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt.

UPDATE: Some pics submitted via Facebook by Victor Abew.

The Teddy Bear (Named after Teddy Roosevelt)

Monrovia, Liberia (After President James Monroe)

Madison Square Park, NYC (after James Madison)

Jefferson City, MO (named after Thomas Jefferson)


Bill Clinton School of Public Service
