This is a question 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.)

The right place at the right time
One morning, when I was 11 years old, I was walking to school and found a five-pound note on the pavement. I looked to see if there was anyone else around. Glancing up, I saw, for the first time in my life, a real live naked woman standing at a window. Tell us about the times you thought the gods were smiling upon you.

Well that was a bit odd...
For example, the time me and a mate got chatting to a couple of blokes in a pub who, upon us leaving, asked us if we wanted to go to the local park with them for a fight. I said no thanks...

Things we have tried and failed
Have you taken up fly tying to impress your new girlfriend's fly fishing dad and ended up spending three hours in A&E having hooks removed from your eyelids?

if i was a board mod for a day
tell us all about how a little power would corrupt you and allow you to abuse your position.
Maybe you could post a dodgy QoTHW and watch as people try to full fill the brief, or turn every one against every one and watch the big 2011 internet hissyfit from a safe distance?
and definitely tell us what you would do with that lot or there in /talk

Give thanks
I'm overweight, unemployed, bored and miserable. Ditto the missus. It's raining, cold and the nights are drawing in. And the Hydrocephalus baby with the enormous purple birthmark I saw at the playground yesterday made me realise just how lucky I am to have a happy, loving family, wonderful; child, warm house etc. etc.

I think it's time for b3tans to give thanks for what they have (or what others don't, for the terminally shit amongst us)

How about not having a qotw this week,
just to give people a chance to fabricate some well-researched lies for a change.

Games you play inside your own head
I always turn getting the petrol price gauge bang-on '.00' into an impromptu game show, with dire imaginary consequences for losing. I also occasionally rate random strangers' looks when bored on the train (and not with the missus). What games do you play to amuse yourself, either to while away the boredom, or simply to make life more fun?

stupid things that give you THE FEAR

Great lies to tell small children.
I was so proud when my sister reported to me that my eldest nephew on his first day at school had informed the class that sheep grow from the flaxen, woolley seeds you find in sheep fields.

Let's have some more lies you've enjoyed telling children for your own amusement.
