Question of the Week suggestionsEach 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.)

Catch-22I do Twitter. I'm not proud of it, but it provides an outlet for some venting of spleen that doesn't fit well with other media. Largely because most people aren't interested, but that's beside the point for now.
I relatively recently started using the hashtag #twitterwang, which is based on the Mitchell and Webb sketch Numberwang, and which I use when a tweet that I send - without any premeditation or buggering about - comes to precisely 140 characters.
The problem being that, by definition, #twitterwang cannot be part of the original message. Thereby meaning I have to send a fresh tweet, comprising solely of "#twitterwang".
Meaning that the #twitterwang hashtag is wholly pointless, since without having to go back and look through the individual tweets, nobody can really see what the original twitterwang was.
Has anybody else ever come up with something so completely self-defeating and futile?
Please...
somebody?
