I decided this afternoon to go back through my plurk time-line (read: archive) to see where it all started: 6:41pm, 15th August 2008. Right down to the minute!
So then I asked myself, “How many questions have I asked of other plurkers to give their opinion?” It took about two hours to go through the entire time-line all to pick out those questions that I imagine you’d like to give further response.

33 Art or Pron?
34 Give us your best cliched quote that has a twist to it. IE : “When you assume, you make an ass out of YOU, not me!”
Although not as many as I thought, there’s still quite a lot of interesting ones. You are welcome to add your response to any of them: Thankfully the internet allows time-travel (and even the occasional re-write of history)!
It would be great if the plurk-nerds could produce a list from their XML-archives of ASKS, HAS, NEEDS, FEELS for each user, or a page where we can choose such options for easy viewing. In the meantime, I’ll try to remember to add any further questions to this list for further perusal.
