the best ice breaker questions

As a part of Women's Bible Study this semester, I was put in charge of coming up with a weekly ice breaker question. I just spent entirely too much time reading through other people's lists and came up with my personal favorite get-to-know-you questions. The first question is original. I'll be sure to answer that question some day on the blog...

• Have you ever ordered anything off of tv? Was it as good as they said it would be? 
• What interest haven't you pursued but have always wanted to and what draws you to it?
• What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? Best thing you've ever eaten?
• If you could choose one day to live again, what day would you choose?
• What is your favorite thing to do in the summer? In the winter?
• If you had a time machine that could travel to anytime in world history (the past) what time period and where would you visit? (And then after Jesus' living years, where would you go?)
• If you could hop a plane and go anywhere in the world with anyone, where would you go?
• What is a gift you will never forget receiving?
• Would you rather go without television or fast food for the rest of your life?
• If you had this week over again, what would you do differently?
• What book, movie or tv show have you seen/read recently that you would recommend? 
• What was your first job? What is the best job you've ever had? The worst?
• Do you have any pet peeves?
• Who, from your childhood, were the people who most greatly shaped who you grew up to become?
