@Nine The weirder the better. 
@BatElite I was talkinga bout these sorts of weird ideas some years ago on a chatsite and some other oflks there came up with some AMAZING ideas too. like a government agency responsible for really mundane things, like an agency for making sure cereal goes soggy in milk, or that radio alarm clocks all have crap reception.
Someone else also came up with "a clockwork caretaker for some gigantic Difference Engine style mechanical computer which controls the weather for a small kingdom".
