Ok, I want you to meet Ed.
Ed is a fuckwit who sticks and lights firecrackers in his anus and also happens to have a penchant for spamwhoring on message boards, even though he has the choice not to.

Your challenge should you choose to accept it, is to abstain indefinately from fuckwittery in this thread.
The game is simple. Post a question to something you have been wondering about but don't know the answer.
For example:
-Why do buses and trucks normally run on diesel while cars run on petrol?
-What is a subpoena?
These questions are quite simple though you are free to ask more difficult questions.
Rules:
1. No fuckwittery
2. No spamwhoring (see 1.)
3. Ask a factual question that has a known answer. If you don't know if the answer is known or not but within reason you think it would be factual then ask it anyway.
4. Quote the original question while giving the answer.
5. Anyone is free to ask a question, anyone is free to answer one (provided they give the attempt to give the correct answer.)
6. Deliberately exploiting loopholes in these rules will be considered fuckwittery (see 1.)
Definition of spamwhore in the context of this thread:
One who posts impetuously
or does not answer questions directly
or goes off on tangents
or adds superfluous unneccesary dialogue to the thread thereby watering down the Q&A session.
Etc!
This has the *potential* to be an interesting thread that expands users general knowledge just by browsing through.
Alright Go! And don't be like Ed, you have been challenged!
