Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Fruit 'n' veg
So many different fruits and vegetables. So many different uses. What's the most unusual thing you can think of to do with a piece of fruit/veg?
I'll start with a suggestion by one of my students, which involves sharpening a parsnip so it resembles a stake, stabbing your enemy with it, then roasting and eating the evidence.
Side dish of enemy optional.

Fashion
We've all dressed up like twats at some time in our lives in the pursuit of fashion.
Please, share, it will ease the pain.

Science
Makes the world go round, makes you more attractive to the opposite sex, kills people, saves people, makes the world smaller, answers questions that have plauged humankind for millenia -
Fuck that, all I learned in science class was how to make a water-powered rocket from a washing up liquid bottle.
Science.
Tell us your science-related anecdotes (and the first person to mention practical biology lessons will be shot).

Hitchhiking
Most of us will have done it, No3l still does. So what are your stories? Scary? Funny? Heartwarming (on b3ta?)? My best memory is bittersweet, dumped form a lorry in the middle of nowhere (countryside near Flamborough Head) and almost straightaway picked up by a racehorse trainer in a Lotus Europa. Who got the apprentice jockey to sit on the shelf behind the seats so he could give me a lift. Good times.

Pyromania is a driving force in the formative years of people everywhere.
So, did you set fire to the dog?
Immolate a small child?

Social Gaffs
One time I was in a West Indian social club with my black mate, Dan. The Spice Girls came on the stereo, being pissed I stood up, did the hand sign, got my words mixed up and declared: "White power!" Before promptly falling back in my seat.
I thought I was going to die.
Tell us about your social gaffs, extra points for life-threatening situations, or posts including beastiality.

Dreams
I've had some properly messed-up dreams before. A girl's arse came away in my hands; I've fought for my life against Orcs and muggers and I've explored a deserted children's playground which became the stock market on closer inspection, on Mars.
What sort of madness has appeared in your head entirely uninvited as you slumbered soundly?

LAST!
How about we have a whole week of different and exciting 'Last' posts, or a week of 'My God The QOTW is boring' posts, and then maybe the dull idiots who have nothing better to do might go the fuck away.
Another Idea:
"Why my life is so boring that I resort to moaning about content of a free website in a poorly thought out and badly spelled manner, thereby consistently watering down the quality of the content further. I have no stories to tell or any tangible talent, but hey, I won't let that stop me, for I am a dull, self involved, twat."
There. That's definitely one to go with.
To clarify, I'm not having a go at the Mods. I'm having a go at the people who are the reason that others think QOTW is shit.

Turn Ons / Turn Offs
Sitting in a bath of beans, hearing a French accent, watching Newsround.
What turns you on, you sick fuckers?
EDIT: Hairy backs, a lack of a pulse, someone pointing at your cock and laughing. The stuff that makes you go limper than Kenneth Williams' wrist.
Yin n yang and all that twattery.

I used to run cross country for my school. My games teacher was livid when he discovered that a few other kids and I would sprint ahead and have a cheeky fag in the woods before setting off again.

Paranoia
Ever thought you were being followed? Think the CIA have tapped your phone? Did the woman who served you in Tescos relay a deeply personal fact about you to her mate at the checkouts that she really shouldn't know about?
Tell us about your pant-wetting, testicle-grabbing, arm-flapping paranoid episodes.

Lazy sods
Tales about lazy people adn the things they do.
I work at a school. Everymorning on my way to work I see pupils of the school waiting for teh bus at every stop before the school. That doesn;t sound so bad does it? Well no, apart from the last 2 bus stops before school which are both under 10 minutes walk from the school.
Pupils are too lazy to walk 10 mintues to get to school and the scary thing? The parents paying for their bus tickets.

Help-A-B3tean Week!
Inspired from Dirty Secrets & Top Tips, bit of a hybrid if you will. Tips to help people save money from businesses, that sort of thing. I could do with a few with recession and all.
I'll start: If you buy insurance from Norwich Union Direct (or Aviva soon) and not take legal expenses, call back next week and pretend you asked for it. They'll add it on free of charge because it costs more to listen to the call you made than to add it on for free.

Whinging/complaining
Everyone has been whinging about the quality of the questions for weeks already. So why don't we hear some funny recollections of their all-time best complaint. The best all-out tirade against someone who may have deserved it.
Like the time I told someone to fuck off. FTW!

...and then it didn't happen.
Kind of self-explanatory really.
A couple of years back, I was asked by one of my teachers to help with setting up a proper community sports club - he asked for my help because, essentially, he was enthusiastic but I was (and am) much better and more knowledgeable about that sport. It was a great deal for me - we had applied for lottery funding which, as the only applicant in that category, we were a dead cert for. I was going to get use of a metric shitload of equipment, a free instructor course etc. etc.
The day we were due to find out if we had got the money/get the money, we found out that it had been embezzled.
And that was the end of that.
