The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, which I don't think I've heard of before, "…challenges entrants to compose opening sentences to the worst of all possible novels."

My favourite:

"Mrs. Higgins’ body was found in the pantry, bludgeoned with a potato ricer and lying atop a fifty-pound sack of Yukon golds, her favorite for making gnocchi, though some people consider them too moist for this purpose."

I like my murder mysteries (I assume) to open with potato advice.
