Dubious Charities....
Just scroll through the list of registered charities and you come across crackers like "the vicar's relief fund" and "league of the helping hand" The challenge to b3tans is to invent a dubious charity and come up with an advertising slogan / image.

The Shoddy Future
We all love a bit of scifi tech but your job is to imagine how the amazxing machines of the future may actually turn out.

eg. the time machine: The user operates a dial selecting how far into the future they want to go. the dial is attached to a spring loaded hammer.. the further forward they want to go the tight er the hammer's spring loaded action gets wound releasing a blow that knocks them unconcious for said duration.

Twisted memories of the 1980s
There's so much retro nostalgic 80s music and culture knocking about right now. I can't help thinking it would be funny to see people kicking that retro into touch by giving icons from their childhood a bit of a B3TA twist.

The stories behind weird named objects/phrases - why is it called a parson's nose?
A chance for B3tans to invent the story behind the name, the odd stuff that we take for granted in our language.

Eg: the parson's nose is the arse of a chicken - did a parson have his face in the crotch of a chicken so frequently that people started to call it the parson's nose...?

What other phrases or terms can be explained B3ta style. What about toffee nosed? or when something peters out? What's a pipe dream? Does anyone know what codswallop is?

Here's some other odd phrases: www.phrases.org.uk/a-phrase-a-week/index.html

Kill Mandy
With everything that's been going on recently I'm finding my mind wandering easily to various ways and means of Peter Mandelson being gloriously 'removed from the gene pool'.

Photoshop, clay modelling, interpretative dance. I'm sure there are many ways b3tans could find to illustrate this wonderfully cathartic mental game.
