Always a fun game, and now via e-Claire and yarbroughs I see there's a blog version.

Since nothing could be less interesting than learning more about your humble host, I'm going to change the rules up a bit; Miss Claire only accounted for Truth, but the Dare part of the game is more entertaining. So ask me any questions you like, or dare me to post an article taking any position you want on any issue you desire. (Don't worry about whether I'll agree with the position or not, that's half the fun.) I'll answer the questions, and turn some of the best dares into posts.

Update:
Miss Claire ups the stakes herself.

But Mr Williams -- it hardly seems sporting if you're gonna pick and choose like that . . . Here's a challenge: pledge to post the first three dares -- any subject, no matter what. If you succeed in making cogent arguments on those random three subjects, I'll send $30 [that's ten bucks a post!] to Castle Argghhh! Fighting Fusileers for Freedom! -- Spirit of America -- Blogs for Iraqi TV Fund!!
Now all we need are some challenges.

Compare The Tick and Hamlet.

Discuss why even though Roger Penrose must be one of the top 5 smartest men currently living on the planet, he could get theories about Artificial Intelligence SOOOOO WRONG.

Corollary: Find the flaws in the Chinese Room argument against AI, and explain them to normal folk.
