The "Meet the Team" section at the bottom of the Forums page has given me the inspiration for this so I'm nicking the idea unashamedly!

For those unaware of it, each of the green team has answered the following questions. My adaptation is to extend this to the membership as well.

Fascinating Fact :
Cartoon character most like :
What's in your brew? :

Most likely found in : Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig terwubble!
Ideal Superpower : A photographic memory with Wi-Fi to send images to a printer...
