I’ll will have to nominate [“would you eat a chocolate Jesus”?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=179433&highlight=Chocolate+Jesus) It’s sacrilicous. ---

Well GQ probably doesn’t have a lot of entries, but one that belongs has to be: [Could a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=348452&highlight=conveyor) Another one of my faves: [Ask the 50’s Dad](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=335904&highlight=Commies) ---

I personally think the Hacksaw!: The Musical post by Sampiro, which occurs at post #184 of his much-mentioned "[Woman behold thy daughter…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=326481) " story, is just fantastic. Because it’s partway through another thread it’s hard to link to, but here goes: [“Page 1”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6402841&postcount=184) [“Page 2”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6402934&postcount=185) [“Page 3”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6402967&postcount=186) [“Page 4”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6402990&postcount=187) I cried laughing at that one. 😃 ---
