Lina	Hi guys! So. This may sound a bit silly, but I’ve seriously been on Google for the past half an hour without finding what I wanted to find. This may be a first! So basically, I’ve been meaning to write (among other projects) a book about a group of friends who, upon realizing that they’re about to graduate college and have absolutely no clue what they want to do with their lives, decide to take some time off and try to make a mark on the world by attempting to do things that no one has ever done before. Set records, climb mountains, fit an impossibly large number of marshmallows in their mouths, you name it. Except, where I’m having a bit of trouble is, THINKING OF THINGS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. Because obviously. If someone had thought of them, they would have done them. So I’m turning to Nerdfighteria for help – have you guys ever thought of something that no one has ever done before? I’m thinking my characters might just have to resort to breaking records instead. Except that I’d really like them to attempt stuff that has just never been done (a bit like Hank holding Pringles and a Picasso at the same time – except that, like most things that haven’t been done before, that happened by accident. Which is my point.) So anyway, if you have any ideas, fire away Sorry for the length of the post.

Luke Brekke	Give a former President of the United States a rubber chicken for his birthday.

Emma George	@Luke Brekke I think that a absoutely faboulous idea. Could Nerdfighteria make this happen?

Emma	Hack into a major news network for the sheer purpose of broadcasting the message “You just lost the game”

Benjamin	Where are these people living? Knowing certain national monuments and such where they live could help. Also how many of them there are. Here are some ideas. Make a giant yoyo out of tractor tires. Play a full game of chess on a rollercoaster. Eat 6 saltine crackers in 1 minute. Make a bridge out of rubber bands. Get a ridiculous amount of people of your choosing to sing Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley.

Maven	They could declare war against Sealand, I’m pretty sure that Sealand has yet to go to war.

Daniel	@Luke @Emma Maybe Here? Sure it’s only a fan-mail address; and yes, it’s probably fake…but we can surely dream? Anybody have a rubber chicken and live within the US so it wouldn’t cost a bomb? And @Lina? This is a fantastic idea, you rule.

Daniel	And then, then if it successfully sends, we could try and get the whole of Nerdfighteria together to tweet/email/shout at the person we send the chicken to and attempt to get a response to the rubber chicken! Maybe even a picture! Ok, maybe the scope should be wider than Presidents, they’re not exactly known for recognising fun when they see it…

Steve Marsden	I love that if you google ‘things that have never been done’ (without quotation marks) this is the third response. You weren’t kidding about not being able to find anything. @lina Are you talking about doing overly eccentric activities? Something like; scuba diving with clown fish dressed as a clown? water skiing behind a helicopter …checks google… It’s been done. Seriously, why would people do that‽

Joshua Goldberg	Visit all 48 of the Continental US States by foot! Do something interesting in each one (idk, there has to be something interesting to do in each) As for the saltine cracker challenge, it’s been done, I’ve done it. Swim from one island of Hawaii to the others. Maybe walk to Alaska too! Go to every Continent (including Antarctica) Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m now just thinking about big things that they should do and not only things that have never been done… lol
