Item 43 – Bread in Inedible Shapes
Never judge a book by its cover… or bread by its shape. Bake bread or cookies into the shape of something you would DEFINITELY not want to eat. (We hate to have to say this every year, but pornographic pastries will result in docked points.)

Item 33 – Wing Pits
From @gishwhes twitter feed: Everyone knows the most ticklish parts of planes are on the undersides of the wings (or “wing pits”, to use proper aircraft terminology). Let’s see the wing pits on a full-sized airplane. You can go true bohemian, decorative, or high and tight groomer – but it must really look like (or be) hair to count.

Item 24 – Raspberry Beret
She wore a raspberry beret… Wear a beret made out of raspberries as you shop in a second-hand store.
Item 17 – Spicy Art
Spicy Art! Using the spices you have in your spice cupboard, make a picture of your favorite (1) comic book cover, or (2) cartoon character. Either submit it alone, or as a side-by-side image comparison.
Item 15 – Groucho Marx a Piece of Fruit
Groucho Marx a piece of fruit. No, we don’t know what this means either, but we’re excited to see what you come up with.
Item 13 – A Child’s Idea of Happiness
(Side by side) A child drawing of their idea of happiness. Then, make it happen.

Item 4 – Paper Wedding Dress
As anyone who reads “Cosmopolitan” magazine knows, bohemian eco-chic weddings are all the rage. Let’s see a wedding dress made from recycled office paper.
Item 3 – Pancake Art
Pancake art has come a long way, and the art form doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Let’s see pancake art of Guernica, Judith Slaying Holofernes, The Weeping Woman, anything by Heronymous Bosch, or another famous work. (You may not do the Mona Lisa or anything abstract.)
GISHWHES National Scavenger Hunt Day Minihunt – Item 3 – The Knight and the Snail
As all Gishers know, Medieval Knights were often depicted battling snails and nobody knows why… except you. YOU know. Show us a historical re-enactment that adequately explains this centuries-old rivalry.
Lyrics
A million years ago, or so
Is where I’ll set my tale
Of a knight most fair who became aware
Of our humble hero snail
The snail was a victim of the old caste system
Of systematic oppression
She prayed the knight would heed her plight
But soon she’d learn her lesson
“Sir Knight,” said she, “with your chivalry
Will you ‘ear me plea o’ woe?
Me family’s got naught t’ eat
We could use your ‘help, by jove!”
Well the knight said:
“OH FUCK A TALKING DEMON SNAIL KILL IT”
