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.)

Foreignersare always funny. I'm currently a foreigner (Brit living in America) and reduced my colleagues to tears of laughter the other day, when I made a mistake writing something in pencil, and innocently asked for a rubber. (which, for the uninformed, is an American word for condom). It's ok though, I point and laugh whenever they talk about spanking someone's fanny.
what cultural mistakes have you made? when have you been lost in translation? what crazy foreigners have made you laugh?
