I'm not sure if this is the quite the same thing as Vene proposed in his News Ticker thread, but a section for items that are drawn from the news that don't quite fit any other heading would be good. The thread under P&G started by Damen entitled A Special Hell is what prompted this. It doesn't fit under P&G but doesn't really fit anything else either except perhaps General Discussion under General Category.

Agreed. There are some things that are news that don't relate to religion or politics, so there should probably be a separate section for them.

This. I ran into a fascinating article that started out about PETA protesting spider silk garments, which could be P&G, but which mainly highlighted the difficulty of making the cloth and how the government has expressed interest in synthesizing the process because it resembles kevlar. It's not really funny/amazing so it doesn't fit in the lounge. It mixes too many elements for any one section.
In the News would solve this.

Nah, I was thinking about the thing on the top right that says "SMF - Just Installed!" and replacing it with something more amusing. Hell, even some of the funnier snippets of mainpage quotes.

Sooo... a section for stuff which currently gets broken up into P&G, R&P, General, F&B, and occasionally others..
That's actually not bad an idea.
-
I think a lot of the stuff will still end up in F&B, P&G, etc...but this is more for those stories that either have nowhere to go or could fit multiple places like my spider silk one.

Agreed
