Psycgirl's answer
Her answer not only answers it, but she gives a great story behind why that particular ornament is her favorite based on her life experiences. She shows that Mahalo members not only give great answers, but great opinions as well as answers based on their life experiences!

M$What is the architecture style of Lower Vestry House of St. George's Church in Bloomsbury?
Quote
The best definition of architecture for the church and the lower vestry house, I would say it falls under the Georgian style, with Nicholas Hawksmoor as the architect.

Try to answer 24 of my Open Questions in 24 hours.
Think you are exceptional at writing a opening line to my proposal to raise funds for a new business in 25 word or less but try at least 20?.
Even though the original question was very general, she does a great job of providing an excellent selection of opening lines that will grab people's attention. Looks like @Iofa thought so too, since he voted her answer as best.
