But be warned: our questions are strange and our answers even stranger - so maybe a good lie takes you much further than a boring truth...


How it works

• A random question will be posted in this thread.
• You now have at least 24 hours to come up with a great answer. To clarify: Even if you happen to know the actual answer, creative wrong answers is what this stage is about. PM your answer to me.
• Once the time limit is over, all answers get posted, including the correct one.
• Now each visitor can vote once in this thread or by PM for the answer they think is true.
• You are not allowed to vote for your own submitted answer.
• However you can try to guess the right one even if you didn't submit an answer before.
• The right answer is worth 20 points
• You will also score 20 points for each person who falls for your bluff.

Thanks for the reminder ^^

Come one, come all - still approximately 12 more hours to come up with funny, strange, crazy or downright weird answers! What makes that postbox special?

Alright, voting round has begun! Everyone is invited to guess what the right answer may be. Meanwhile, a new question awaits your funny, clever or downright weird bluffs - make up an answer and pm it to me. A gift... what could it be?

And what is so special about that postbox now?

Do we guess here or via PM, too?
Also, let me think of a good answer for the new question...

I was thinking here in the thread (since that gives you an excuse to post, which in return gives you tickets), but I will also count PM guesses. The main reason I'm collecting answers by PM is so nobody is going to know who wrote what ^^

OOOH true.
We can come discuss afterwards, I guess xD

That's right. Plus the recent question is going to change over time, so there's another incentive to check back. Also:

Very tempted to be a butt and quote only 'it' xD

Oh sweet temptation.

The mask has been caught, but there's still a few hours left for the rest of you to vote on the right answer and score some tickets. Or send me gifts. Er, I mean, suggestions for what the Russian gift might have been.

Guess for the Post Office box: It's underwater.

And that's correct! You guys sure know your mail.

Have some free tickets on me - sorry if they arrive wet, I was trying to send them right from Susami Bay. New question is up, and I've also changed the bluff points from 10 to 20. We got some nice answers there, so what do you think unites nations even better than a bottle of Vodka?

Is it weird I think it is the reindeer? They are Native to Russia right?

No, they're native to Lapland!!!
(totally serious answer)
