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.)

String!
There are literally dozens of types of string on the market. Blue string, green string, white string, blue string soup... what's your favourite type of string? Have you had any string related disasters, like running out and so you had to resort to using sellotape? Or, worse still, Blu-Tak?
This question is good as it will give you the opportunity to veer slightly off topic and talk about rope, which is like string, but thicker. Or perhaps shoelaces and cord, which are a bit more like string, but feel different.
Or even string theory, which isn't real string at all. In fact, it's really quite complex and stuff and girls probably wouldn't understand it. I know I don't, and I'm not even a girl. Oh no. PenguinOfDeath and Enzyme probably do, so they'd be off in their own little string theory thread (thread's sort of string like) making string theory related puns and stuff while everyone else reads on and thinks "What the fuck are they on about?" Meanwhile, the Goat would come in and tell everyone that string isn't real and the world is going to end tomorrow and the government are really lizards before getting his arse kicked in an intellectual orgy of words.
Then Bert would probably masturbate over everyone and it would be Thursday before you know it.

My favourite type of string
Has to be string theory. But that's pretty much all I'd have to contribute...

Yeah!
While you're about it, what about wire? It has literally tens of uses for repairing stuff and would make a dazzlingly brilliant QOTW subject.

What a ridiculous QOTW
Might be reprieved if you included cord and shoelaces within scope.

Damp spaghetti?
Don't be absurd. Are you trying to turn this perfectly serious suggestion into a joke or something?

I have some really great sewing thread stories to share. I'm so excited!

I know about string theory.
I watched a Horizon programme about it and concentrated so hard I got a headache.

Hmm
Are you sure it's not leaving us open to too many twine-related puns?
Or *not leaving us open enough*, perhaps.
