It's true, Scavhunt does have a tendency to (mis)appropriate internet phenomena, and frequently does so on their own turf. When Slashdot appeared, Scavhunt got Slashdotted; when Google took over the world, we tried to get Scavhunt onto the Google homepage. When Facebook.com was all the rage in social networking, we gave the world Assbook.net for a few months.
These days videoblogging is suddenly big, thanks to services like YouTube taking most of the hosting complications out of the picture. And Scavhunt is there, too. Check it out -- Scavhunt in motion!
I especially recommend my team's documentary on liquid nitrogen.
Pity the liquid nitrogen video doesn't include the suicide soda. That scared me a bit, as the mixture of ln2 and cheap-ass soda pop layered, and the first people were drinking good quantities of pure liquid nitrogen. That worried me for a time, but all was well and the concoction was quite something to see.
As for the wood-powered refrigeration device....pure genius.
