Might be fun to have a fact-finding contest. I saw an internet contest on TV where the idea was to see who would be the fastest to locate a picture of a manatee's brain. I sat down at my computer and beat the leader all hollow.

Of course, now that we have Google and Google image, it's like falling off a log.
