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.)

Stupid Limb breakage!!!
How have you broken a limb in a stupid way?
You hear many tales of people falling over stuff at home and breaking limbs, come along and share your pain.........
I fell over my Laundry Basket when twated and broke my wrist. The reason for being there when drunk was that I needed an oily and needed it now, but I didn't have any. So off I trot to the Local (1 mile away) 24 Hr garage with a broken wrist.
Get there and the bloody place is closed. Cunts. broke my wrist for nuffink......

Scariest person you've ever met?
We've all met someone who freaks us and the rest of humanity out.
For instance:
The big brother of a good mate of mine used to try to shoot him with nails fired from an air pistol (he tied feathers to them). He also used to oil the doors in their house so "the wee man can't hear me coming to get him".
Apologies for not apologising about length.

What's the stupidist thing you've ever come home with after a night out?
I used to work in a bar which was part of a large chain. When the staff went on group outings, there would nearly always be a drunken 'who can steal the most from where we're going' challenge. After one Christmas bash, for the whole chain, in Northhampton, I managed to leave the Moathouse Hotel with:
1) The thrid floor lift sign.
2) A fairly large picture from the bar.
3) The battery from the condom machine.
4) A selection of glasses and cutlery.
5) Several large bottles of 'Natural' spring water.
6) An antique stone storage jar.
7) A handmade woodon toy car.
8) A book.
The funny thing is that we even managed to get half the money back on our room due to unsatisfaction!

Is it better to have regretted something you have done or something you haven't?

Which strange/disturbing/really unattractive famous people do you secretly fancy?
Ahh, go on, embarrass yourselves...
I also like the procrastination one. Here I am with 2 essays and a MA dissertation to write, and I'm sitting around looking at this. Argh....

Well I'll Be
How about, "Most staggaring coincidences?"
Or maybe, "Lies you've told the police?"
One more, "Most awkward 'coitus interruptus'?"
As if those aren't awkward enough, hey.

Pranks?
How about "Your greatest Pranks"
They could be about practical jokes against people you know, or ones you have fallen for yourself?

Small children, the little hooligans
Any incident with young 'uns. Whether it's the wrong thing to say at the wrong time or a diaper disaster, everybody's bound to have at least one tale of when a kid under ten proved either embarassing or hilarious.

Blonde moments
Don't let the brunette hair fool you, inside my sister's head she is pure blonde (I hesitate to admit that I, too, have fallen prey to moments of extreme stupidity, usually very publically, too. Oh dear god the nightmare of the mini-fan...)
Tiny example... "me and X are so similar, we must have been separated at birth" yes honey, save for that little 5 year age difference there.

Most Innappropriate things to say
Turned up at my Grandmothers house, just after my Grandad karked it. Door was opened by uncle, letting me and my Dad in.
"Would you like a cup of tea?", sayth the uncle.
"Verily, I am dying for a cuppa", sayth twunt-grouch.
Thankfully, my old man laughed.

Bloody Feminism
With every television advert (or commercial) being filled with femminist propeganda, and with all men being made to look stupid on TV, I was wondering what you people thought of feminism in general, and I even thought that a good future photoshop challenge would be "if the femminists took over" to show what the world would look like this way.
