Another idea that requires more work from you!

I had this idea for a 30 day project, but I quickly realized it wasn't something I could do everyday, and yet I still really liked it and didn't want to scrap it entirely, so I modified it slightly and came up with something to do once a month in addition to my 30 day project.
What am I going on about?
Well, let's go all the way back to the beginning: Bear vs. Shark (the book not the band).  I was reading this book about a form of American entertainment whereby a computer simulated bear and shark duke it out.  At one point in the book, the author (as himself more or less) mentions that he sent emails out to various people who would be informed on this topic (e.g. scientists, professors, etc.) about who they thought would win in a fight, a bear or a shark.  Apparently not that many people got back to him, but he went ahead and shared those responses.  This reminded me of two things: 1) a particular instance from when I was in high school and "writing a novel" about film critics at the New York Times and had something of a correspondence with A. O. Scott that pretty much consisted of me throwing lots of questions at him and him very politely answering them; and 2) how, in general, it always amazes me at what people will tell you if you ask, especially if you ask about something they really care about.
I enjoy doing this.  Asking people about things they care about.  It's fun to get people talking.  And so I thought, what if every month I have a question and I take the time over the course of the month to ask various relevant people what they think about it, maybe survey the average Joe about it, then compile everything I've discovered and present it to you all.  Obviously the questions can't be something too straightforward and google-able.  But I don't suppose they necessarily have to be subjective either.  The bear vs. shark one is good even if it is a bit silly.
So once again I ask you to give me suggestions.  What are some questions that you might want investigated?  I wish I had a list of examples to get you going....but I don't.  I haven't been able to come up with any yet.  Shoot me an email/message/post/whatever if you think of anything.
