It's time for a treasure hunt!

Jun 05 '04 (Updated Jul 24 '04)

The Bottom Line How much do you already know about the year you were born in? Are you even a little bit curious?

Who wants to go on an internet treasure hunt? I got this idea from an assignment at school. We only had an hour to put this together but we will give it as much time as you need since my ‘items’ are a bit more difficult.

Treasure Hunt Write off.

The object if to look for items invented the year you were born and for other details that are listed below, if you can provide a link that would be great. We could check out the facts and beef up on our history. Also provide a brief summary on the topic. It doesn’t have to be long unless you want to give more details. Please no false answers though.


1) One invention the year you were born. It can be anything from a food item to a car.


2) Who was the most famous actor/actress the year you were born.


3) Most popular vehicle the year you were born.

4) Which president was in office and what did he do for our country that was different, either good or bad.


5) One hit movie


6) Something from the top ten category in music.


7) Any item of your choice to mention from the year you were born.




I suppose this write off is a surfer’s challenge and maybe one for the history guru. If you join in, Thanks a million for participating!

Good luck! Have fun! And please spread the word to others.

Here are our entries!! These are fantastic! Reserve some time and read up on your history in an absolutely fun way!
