@DaaaahWhoosh with the support it has, I don't see a problem with picking it for the next challenge even if it isn't strictly on top. It's at +11 now, it's seasonal (it wouldn't make sense in February), and as far as I know nobody ever guaranteed that we would always do the top-voted suggestion next no matter what.

Half of me thinks, "A suborbital spaceplane in the 1930s would have been awesome!" while half of me thinks "A flying Nazi bomb in the 1930s would have been a terrible idea!"
Hello all. Our birthday is next week -- yay! The top-voted answer on the "how shall we celebrate?" question was my suggestion to share glimpses into our worlds -- a bit of fiction, a scene description, a fact sheet, whatever. 19 people liked that idea, though so far I'm the only one who's done it.
