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.)

Ooooh yes
There was the hovercraft. It didn't hover.
The second hovercraft. It hovered. It didn't float.
The water balloon catapult. It exploded (really). The second catapult. It broke. The third catapult. It exploded. Gave up.
The trebuchet. It fired backwards and hit me in the crotch.
The raft. It leaked. Fixed the leak. It tilted and threw me in the river.
The stilts. They bent. Cut them down. They bent again. Cut them down some more. Continued until the stilts were 3" high.
The electric fence. It electrocuted me.
The van der graff generator. It electrocuted me.
The electric motor. It electrocuted me, then caught fire.
The snowboard. It stuck. I carried on going.
The burglar alarm. When triggered it waited exactly seven minutes before emitting a smell of burning.
The system for holding the kite buggy (large and heavy) in the rafters of the garage. Dropped it on my head.
I think I see a pattern here...
