# they could always put Thom Yorke on a dinosaur
why do people feel limited, photoshop Thom Yorke could mean draw a picture of a giant pea wanking off in to a nun's open cassock while the ghost of Thom Yorke looks disapprovingly on.

These kids, no imagination

# Which is my point.
If the challenge doesn't SEEM to require much imagination (a challenge about Thom Yorke would really provoke the obvious - his eye, I expect), it's not very likely that it will.

# you can't blame people being lazy on the person setting the challenge
that's like saying art galleries shouldn't exist because someone will walk in and out without getting anything from it.

# Not at all,
I'm saying why not pick a more imaginative challenge?
We know what the problem is that causes shit challenges, why not try and avoid them?

And no-one leaves an art gallery without getting anything from it, don't be silly.

# A challenge about the LHC
seems to provoke the obvious to me too - lots of pics of people in lab coats being sucked into black holes.

'Shit' challenges always produce good pics and 'good' challenges always produce shit pics. It's all down to whoever is making them.

If you are really worried about this challenge being shit, why not make it better by creating a series of fantastic pictures and jokes? You can even have Thom Yorke being sucked into a black hole in Switzerland if you like.

# Not at all:
Apart from black holes, strangelets, and the return of the antichrist to Earth, what awesome physics side-effects will the LHC create when it's switched on at the same time this week's compo goes live?

# If b3ta has taught us anything
it's that people never bother reading the instructions for the challenge.

It would be a week of shitty black hole, strangelet and anti-christ jokes, coupled with something sublime from Monkeon that nobody else would ever have thought of.
