I stole this idea from the [Minneapolis Star-Tribune](http://talk.startribune.com/cgi-bin/WebX.cgi?14@189.ziW7aK64TbP%5E51@.eea271d/0) Message Boards. It works like this: On poster starts with an “answer.” The next poster provides a question for the answer, and then provides a new answer. Example: [Poster 1] A: Stonehenge [Poster 2] Q: What’s your favorite Spinal tap song? ``` A. Strawberry jam. ``` [Poster 3] Q: What does Saddam look like right now. ``` A: Michael Jackson (and so on) ``` Ok, I’ll start with the first answer and hope this thread works… A: I heard it from the Iraqi Minister of Information. ---
