Image Challenge suggestions
We 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.

What if the British Empire never existed!
In the 17th Century us Brits were the poor man of Europe.
The Dutch had a spice and tea empire in the east, the French controlled all of Africa and the best bits of North America, and the Spanish had all the gold and silver the New World could provide.
We had a few poor rainy colonies and the potato.
Somehow we came out on top.
But what if we hadn't?
What would the world look like today if the Empire on which the sun never sets had been French, Spanish or Dutch?
