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.)

Unshakable belief in nonsenseMy little sis (Helen) came back from an adventure week organised by school, convinced that every SAS soldier had a steel helmet implanted under the skin that covers the skull so that they didn't have to rush about finding their conventional helmets when the crap hit he fan and they were pressed into action.
One of the instructors had told her that he'd just been in to have his implanted as he was about to join up.
Years later she still believed this, which was only to be confirmed by the SAS when they stormed the Iranian embassy in 1980.
'You could clearly see that they weren't wearing helmets.'
What nonsense have you persuaded someone to believe?
