Bonus: If it has absolutely nothing to do with the story at all, if anything.
Bonus: If it does have something to do with your story, but completely contradicts something that does happen in the story.

Bonus: Everyone ignores them and treats them as part of the scenery, not even bothering to learn their names.
Double Bonus: You never expand on them either.

[Celestial]

Triple Bonus If you do not change the names of charactes from the sentence

[storm]

Dare Go find a bottle of your shampoo, find the chemical with the longest name, and incorporate it /somehow/ into your story. It can't have anything to do with shampoo, by the way (your character can't be randomly stuck in a bathroom and reading a shampoo bottle, coming across the chemical. ).
Bonus If the chemical results/contributes to the major, epic turning point in the story
Double bonus If your story literally had nothing to do with chemicals influencing the EPIC turning point of your story until now
Triple bonus If everything makes sense and it's not weakly incorporated/randomly put in. XD

Dare Mention the importance of cheese.
Bonus Have two of your characters debate over how vegans cannot eat cheese, one of them being utterly serious while the other is arguing just for the sake of it
Double bonus Actually have it work because of your characters personalities/lead on to another event you'd already planned so that it contributes to the EPIC TURNING POINT
Triple bonus points Have it blow up the sun. No, seriously.
Quadruple bonus Allow your characters to have an epic fight with cheese-strings (manufactured by Black Diamond) (c), and have it change the balance of the universe.

SOMEONE GIVE ME A STEAMPUNK DARE!

(Sorry if I'm writing in all caps just now . . . I just started my morning cup of coffee, and the sleepy haze is still there but I'm getting hyper off the caffeine. NOT a good combo. Well, maybe for NaNoWriMo it is. XD)
