Jerry_kindall “MetaFilter, known as MeFi to its members, is a community weblog whose purpose is to share and discuss interesting links…”

"The Skull, the Dream and the Dancer" – One of those famous AskMe questions: Several years ago I saw a poem in a magazine

Some other famous Q&A: "Could a typical young man, armed only with a knife, (say, six or eight inches long) be trained to consistently "win" fights with a grizzly bear? Assume no element of surprise." Or: "You're in the middle of an arena. You're being attacked by 5 year olds who will stop at nothing to kill you. How many can you take on before they overcome you?"

Should I quit my job and move 1800 miles to be with my dying grandmother?

Suppose you killed somebody... How would you dispose of the body without getting caught? Would you dump it somewhere? Bury it in the backyard or basement? Dissolve it in lime? What? What would your master plan be that would allow you to get away with it?

What is the most romantic marriage proposal you have ever heard of?

Some other interesting musical discussions on AskMe, per Patrick Crosley. Also there, MetaFilter has jumped the shark

Now I really am regretting deleting that post. I was nasty about using digaman as an example of political-axe-grinding-filter but my sentiments were honest and it was a cute bit of writing. Ah, well, I've since learned how to make posts "private" rather than deleting them. :-)
