I've had some really bad ideas in my life...
1) Giving my wife an honest opinion when she asked me, "How do I look?"
2) Heating up a jar of hot fudge in the microwave and then sticking my finger into the jar to see if it was hot enough. The answer is that it was hot, as hot as lava.
3) Drying my wet bathing suit on my parent's wood dining room table. This was bad because of course it ruined the table, but more importantly it's a constant reminder of my 32 inch waist line, of blessed memory.
We all have bad ideas and like all great researchers, if you want to uncover something, you turn to Twitter.
And that is why @HashtagManiacs decided to challenge the world to share their bad idea using only 5 words. Thus the hashtag #BadIdeaIn5Words was born!
