We used to do bigger and better hunts in my church youth group back in Junior High. We broke into teams, each starting out with a regular paper clip and within two hours we had a 10-speed bike and a nice picnic table. We then auctioned the stuff at a fundraiser. Real fun way to make a few bucks.
The Problem is that the house is in Saskatchewan. I knew there had to be a catch.
Thanks for the link. I had heard the story a while ago but forgot about it. How cool is that? He got his house!
