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.)

But... but... it's all true!
So we've discussed the lies you've told, and the things you've got away with. Now, the reverse. I was once filling in some paperwork for a project where I used to work, and one question was 'list your publications'. So I did.
Next day, I had the Fat Controller on the phone - 'What's all this? Don't you know this stuff is serious?'
I couldn't get him to believe it was true, so I called the guy working on the document and told him to delete that bit. He said that he had anyway, as 'I knew it was bollocks'.
So, the question is: what have you not managed to convince people of, even though it was true?
