Week 8: Just for Fun (and BONUS POINTS!)

Whud is it?

It's a picture of one of my favourite friends, and a chance to score a bonus point in WHUD4. His name is Gary (aka Scary Larry, Landy, Narcolandy, etc). He's a merchandise manager, is currently on tour with the burgeoning rock star band called "Metric", and often has fun stories about touring with the band. Whud does this have to do with the game Whudisit? Nothing really, but I thought I'd give his journal a little boost while offering Whud Players a chance to score a bonus point. All you have to do is post a comment on the first page of his site sometime between now and the Friday deadline for this week's Whud challenge and I'll add 1point to your score in Whud. Be sure to sign your gamename on your comment! Limit of one point per player.

Also, if you have speakers or headphones, check out Gary's awesome band These Electric Lives. They've made the top ranks of myspace.com's playlist this week! Watch out for their webpage, coming soon!

Week 7: Answer

Kraft paper


The answer for week 7 is Kraft paper (paper lunch bag, brown paper towel, etc also accepted). It's called "Kraft" paper because of the process by which it's made.

Best wrong answer - "hairy arm". LOL.

Week 7: Just for More Fun

Whud is it?


It's the finalists in a city of Mississaugua's design competition. One of these (mostly gaudy!) buildings will be erected at the corner of Hurontario and Burnhamthorpe, near Square One. You can see them bigger and cast your vote on this web page. Let's hope the leopard skin vase design doesn't win ;)

Whud is it?



It's a "humane mouse trap". Chris Glass explains how it's done. Seems like a good idea. No sticky, no smelly, maybe a little bit of squeeky.

Whud is it?



It's Envision Toronto, a very new, very cool Google maps/photography project by Ryerson University New Media student Ahmed El-Khuffash. If you have any photos of Toronto, please contribute them to the pool! I've already gone upload crazy on it (see the green dots?), but there are so many gaps to fill :)

Kidding! The actual answer to the week 6 challenge is SANDPAPER, and a bunch of people scored points. Good for you! Best incorrect answers included: "cookie with sprinkles on it", "countertop", and "tortilla chip".

Week 6: Scores

Scores after week 6

Not much change in the standings, but I have made a decision... this year we're going to have a total of 10 weeks of play. In the spirit of the Olympics, prizes will go to the leader AND 1st and 2nd runner-ups! Gold, Silver, and Bronze to be had here, folks!
