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.)

Mental-Health and SafteyI would assume that the majority of b3tans work in offices and the majority of offices are full of stupid rules mainly due to health and saftey. Here is a story my friend sent me about what happened when he bought a rake at lunchtime.
"You will not guess the comotion buying a rake has caused here!!!, not only
have I been bombarded by a the most ridiculous questions (what's that? what's
it for?) by all senior management .. but I have to leave it outside of the
call center until HR have enough time to perform a Risk Assesment on it, and
then sign to say that its for my own use and will not be used for terrorism
or violent crimes, and then signed another form saying that the company is
not responsible for what I do with it. And now Im apparently in trouble for
wasting everybodys time in having to make it comply with Health & Saftey. I
have to ask my Team Leader from now if i can bring back large sharp
instruments from my break. Good thing I didnt bring my large umbrella or
they may have had to evacuate the office and call MI5 immediately - I think
I should get another Job."
I am particularly pleased with the subject line.
