Library Excursion

Our adventure began on the 5th floor of the menacing building on the Stevens Point campus disguised as the library.
There we found our first purple paw print clue utilizing our detective and call number skills that we acquired on our way through life. We discovered that the actor Charlie Chaplin was not only an actor but also a comedian throughout his life. From this we inferred that one of the letters to our puzzle was
"C"
 
Next we ventured back to the 4th floor of the so called library where we discovered the IMC containing a large CD collection. We heard that Stevie was browsing here earlier, so we took a closer look. Upon snooping, we came across another purple paw print clue and were lead to the album of The Rolling Stones and knew that
"R"
had to be another letter to our puzzle.
Climbing to the 5th floor (or taking the elevator) we followed the pirate trail of clues to the "stacks" otherwise known as bright green shelves. We searched for what seemed minutes for the Animal Biochemistry subjects until we finally laid our eyes upon them. Feverishly we searched the study cages near by in the hopes of coming across Stevie when we came across a monkey in exchange for the letter
"H"
 
 Getting lost on the way, we made our way to the 6th floor and which contains U.S. government publications. We found a poster of "how to find a U.S. publication" marked by a purple paw and saw that the call number for Smithsonian Institution is
"SI"
On the 2nd floor, we knew that the 'current' issues of the newspaper names after Stevie were kept there, so we logically assumed that that would be a logical place to look. However, sadly we just recieved another letter
"E"
from the worker there.
Sharks! That's always a smart place to look, on the first floor we found the Museum of Natural Resourses where we came across another clue leading us a bird egg giving birth to our next letter
"A"
for Alaska.
 
Just a few feet away, the periodicals stand. There the keeper gave us a slip of paper with
"V"
printed on it in exchange for the answer to a question.
 
 
 With all of the letters at hand, we went to our thinking chair(like in Blue's Clues) and put things together.
"ARCHIVES"
That is the answer! We raced to the 5th floor where the archives are found and rescued out dear friend Stevie.

Better Than Sex Cake


Better Than Sex Cake is the most amazing cake that has ever touched my lips.  There is not a human on earth that I would wish apon them that they would never sample this experience.  I would like to decreace the number of people living life without ever tasting Better Than Sex Cake by sharing with you how you can easily creat this astronomical desert.



To make Better Than Sex Cake there is always a trip to the grocery store trip needed before starting dur to the variety of needed ingredients.  Once all ingredients have been gathered, you must follow the directions very carefully.  The first step is to prepare and bake the cake; once the cake is done cooking, you poke large holes into it with the end of awooden spoon or other small and long circular ended object.  Warm the jar of carmel in the microwave being careful that it does not bubble too high; pour the melted carmel onto the cake fully soaking it into the holes.  Chill the cake in the fridge until the cake is a bit chilly.  Remove the cake from the fridge and speard whipped cream onto the top and sprinkle crushed heath bard onto the top. Enjoy! ;)
