To be short and sweet
I'm looking for people who would be interested in receiving like a gnome or another object via snail mail, taking some pictures of him and shipping him off to someone else.

I'm hoping to get pictures of whatever stuffed animal or other object in different cities next to monuments.

Pictures can be of wherever the person chooses. And would be followed up with a blog-like entry, and posted online.

Looking for world domination/fame for the inanimate object

I want to mail a stuffed animal or gnome to people in areas of significance. Like Australia, and have that person take pictures of the gnome around the area. Like in front of the Sydney Opera House, or the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

If I'm understanding it right, the game goes something like this:
  • Some object is acquired
  • Person takes a picture of the object and mails it to the next person in line
and the same object keeps going around until we run out of participants or until it gets back to the first person.

Yeah, but the brilliance behind it, would be a wordpress blog like website for the object.

Everyone would write a blog entry, preferably in the persona of the gnome

I don't see the point of this, really.

I know this will sound really weird, but that movie freaked the hell out of me. I just don't know why. I was damn scared by it. I was just able to see some minutes of it.......

Old idea that has been done a million times before.

The best prank is to take a gnome from someones garden and then start mailing them postcards and photos of the gnome in different places with quotes like "Wish you were here"

Then after a few months put him back in the garden with a sign saying "Its good to be home"
