When I was on another board many years ago, we used to do this. Just silly questions to find out a bit about each other. It was always 10 questions, and then we would pass it on to another person so everyone would get a chance at it. I hope it catches on here.

2.What is your favorite food?
3.What temperature do you keep your house?
4. Do you have children?
5. Are you in a relationship?
