Ask BU Day Preparation

It's now been 1562 updates since I first started my daily writings, and I'm pretty sure that all of my regular readers know me inside and out by now, either from my 222 Things About Me or the stunning regularity with which I repeat myself on the front page after I think no one will notice. Since I'll be busy this week setting up the new computer and reading new books, I'm enlisting your unpaid aid to provide thought-provoking questions for Wednesday's update. The rules are simple:

1. In the comments section, ask me a question that you would like me to answer, either serious or silly. You must also answer the question for yourself at the same time! (This is so other readers have interesting things to read all day at work today).
2. On Wednesday, I'll take the best questions and answer them in columnist format, similar to Dear Abby, if Abby were a fried-chicken-loving Asian man.
3. Everyone is welcome to ask a question, even if you've never delurked before!
4. The submitter of the arbitrarily-chosen "best question" will win a picture of my award-winning cheddar cheese soup, which is nearly as good as the real thing.

Happy "52nd Anniversary of the Flux Capacitor" Day!
