# Help us choose a new Question of the Week
Like a duck in the night, we return with the weekly vote for QOTW.

Like another, slightly different duck in the night, please vote for the following

Training courses, seminars and conferences: Inspirational or a waste of precious life? I once went on a training course which ended up with my being held at gunpoint in public. Could have gone better, to be honest

I changed the world: Have you ever done something that's made our life different? Made up a 'fact' that is now common knowledge? Created an impressive bit of graffiti/vandalism? Encouraged a friend who's now famous? Killed someone?

Personal Hygiene: We've all known or worked with or sat on the tube next to someone who stank of B.O. or had some of last night's dinner in their hair. Share the yukky anecdotes.

Superstitions: On a recent flight I met a guy who insisted on sitting behind the wings, as if the engines were to explode, death would be less painful. Does anyone have weirder beliefs?

Your early experiences of the internet: Dial-up, porn from newsgroups taking half an hour to download, the dreadful Geocities website you used to run







Vote closes in the small window between the end of my training course and the police being called.

Have an owl:

# Eh?
What happened to the other votes then? Last I saw superstitions had about 60 odd per cent?

edit: Never mind. All better now.
