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.)

most pretentious thingA friend and I once got a kidney from the local butchers (60p, bargain!) and then tried to cook it, using only the relevant chapter in James Joyce's 'Ulysses' as guidance. (That would be chapter III, 'Calypso', where Leopold Bloom, Jewish advertising agent-cum-latter-day Odysseus checks his post and makes breakfast for about 290 pages).
The "cooked" kidney was suspiciously bloody, tasted like a beef eraser and gave us both food poisoning, which I suppose we deserved as wanky Joyce-reading English students.
It was certainly the most pretentious thing we ever did.
Et vous?
