How strict is the invention ban? Even canned food or cereal were produced in a factory. You should hunt and scavenge your own food and cook it over a fire you made by rubbing two sticks together.  been there done that. |

I just got an e-mail from the Big Unfortunate Event, encouraging me to sign up if I haven't already, as I'll apparently be entered into some prize draw. And you also have a chance to win prizes if you send in a photograph of yourself participating, but it's by letter, so I probably won't bother.

I got that same mail. I'm vaguely considering asking my parents to photograph me at the computer taking the Evil Exam, but I'll probably do that before they even get up.

I got that, too, although I'm truely not in it for the prizes. Plus, how would one photograph a person doing the invention ban?

Really, the disguise task would be best for that, and funnily enough, I recently got some materials which would function quite nicely as part of a disguise. Now if only I had a false mustache. |

The person not using inventions wouldn't be using the camera, only the photographer.

No, I don't mean that Gigi. I meant like how would you catch them NOT using technology when there is technology all over the home? Maye in front of a wall?

How exciting, a picture of someone just sitting there doing basically nothing.

 Yeah, that's basically it. Maybe one could have their picture taken as they look at someone using technology forlornly. Hehe..... |

Or taking a picture of them with the kind of tape that says "Police Line-Do Not Cross" over the technology stuff with them looking sullen solumn SAD and unhappy.
I'll possibly join and do the Evil Exam or the Techonology Ban.

Maybe I'll do the disguise thing as well as the Evil Exam, in which case I could get a photograph of myself in disguise. Depends on how convenient it'll be for me to disguise myself that day.

I could put signs that say "Do not touch" all over my TV and Xbox and stuff, then have someone take the picture, but I'd most likely do that just for sentimental value.

I received an e-mail today about the Evil Exam. Somebody who won Junior Mastermind with the Snicket books as their specialist subject is setting the questions on the exam. I thought those of you who hadn't registered might be interested to know that.

Yeah, I got that too. Wouldn't it be great to get a better score?
