Image Challenge suggestionsWe think a good challenge idea is like the opening line of a joke, say "If ads told the truth... Guinness would say 'It makes you fat, and your shit turn black.'"
Maybe you have other ideas.
We're going to leave this thread open, so feel free to add ideas at any time. BTW: Please use the "i like this" button. Your voting really helps the good ideas bubble-up, and the very best will be used in the Image Challenge itself.

Silly things to doAn old Monty Python idea but I'm sure you lot can come up with a few new ones.
My favourite is an old Steven Wright joke: Phone a bookshop, and when they ask "Can I help you?", say "No thanks, I'm just browsing".

How about?Insanely Descriptive Greetings Cards?
Such as:
Congratulations on passing your driving test, pity you were hit by a sheep on the same day!
or
Sorry to hear that you have had to go into hospital, but at least the house is now ready!

Oh god, not more cards to buy.The 'Celebration Card' industry (Happy Birthday etc) has hit a 50 year low in sales.
How about a new line in cards, or a revamp of the traditional ones?

Animals at work!Everyone has heard of guide dogs, dolphins that detect underwater mines, and monkey butlers. What I ask you could other animals be potentially used for in the world of employment?

world AIDS day.december first is rapidly approaching, and let's face it, the dour and grim over-dominate the 'festivities'. liven up the day for all of us, and if your design is useful, i'll pass it along (with your permission, of course) to my boss-types for potential use in a campaign for awareness.

Parallel filmiverse.I just came across notstarring.com on metafilter, that tells you the roles that actors turned down, or were considered for. Prime image challenge material I would have thought.
Imagine, for instance:
Platoon - with Keanu Reeves as Pvt. Taylor, and Val Kilmer as Elias.
Star Wars - with Jodie Foster as Princess Leia, Burt Reynolds as Han Solo
Dirty Harry - starring Frank Sinatra?!
and many more.

Not so much an idea for a challenge, but an idea of how we can do something different that won't get a flood of repostsHelp make a flash animation. Everyone post a picture/short animation/sound/story on a theme (ie monkeys in a spaceship, evil kitchen appliances etc), with the best/most suitable ones included in a flash animation created by a lovely volunteer.
I think this would create some fucking mental projects that everyone can get involved in.

How have you used someone?I once met a girl in a night club. She bought me pints and a kebab.
She then told me she was a V.A.T inspector. So I buggered off.
Can’t doing with those types.

If (x) didn't exist......Pick a thing, any thing. Tell us what it is and shop a world where that thing never existed. The thing you pick is entirely up to you, it might be an object (if radishes didn't exist) or a person (if Henry VIII had never been born) or even a concept/emotion etc. (if there was no such thing as embarassment).

Man's comeuppanceMankind is a stupidly cruel and unthinking species, inflicting unnecessary pain and suffering on millions of other species on this planet. Draw/shop the tables turned.
Anything and everything; Hamsters running vivisection labs, Foxes hunting twats in red jackets and Giant Ants treading on children.
Hopefully this requires a little thought and will slow the number of entries

Celebrity deaths!Which celebrity would you like to see dead? And more importantly, how?
Michael Winner being cheesegrated to death from the toes upwards?
Tony Blair having his arms ripped off, stuck in his ears and being used as a pogo stick?
Noel Edmonds having all his teeth removed...with a pneumatic drill?
Photoshop it in graphic detail.
