You totally just got "Lump" stuck in your head.
2. IAmA 74-time Jeopardy! champion, Ken Jennings. I will not be answering in the form of a question.
reddit.com
This one's just incredibly rewarding. Who knew Ken Jennings was such a badass outside of being surprisingly good at Jeopardy?
Jennings did this AMA, under the username WatsonsBitch, shortly after the IBM supercomputer Watson handed his ass to him on Jeopardy.
Sample exchange:
"ducttapetricorn: Nice username.
WatsonsBitch: Lots of people think it's a Jeopardy reference, but actually I was thinking of that time Watson and I were cellmates in prison, and it kept raping me."
3. I'm CNN News Anchor Don Lemon AMA
reddit.com
Don Lemon! What a genuinely cool guy. The AMA comes on the heels of this Daily Show segment, in which Jon Stewart points out multiple occasions when Don Lemon shows barely concealed contempt for his colleagues when he's asked to participate in dumb fluff pieces.
4. IAM Christopher Poole, Aka "moot," Founder Of 4chan & Canvas. AMA!
reddit.com
This exchange wasn't anywhere near as awkward as I'd hoped it would be, but it's tons of fun, and Chris Poole is a pretty damn interesting dude.

6. I saved a girl from drowning. She then sued me. AMA.
reddit.com
This one's kind of depressing. But for some reason, stories about people being terrible, terrible, irredeemable jerks are just endlessly fascinating.
7. IWasA Putty In The Original Power Rangers Series AMA.
reddit.com
Behind the scenes with one of Rita Repulsa's most miserable henchmen.
Sample exchange:
"Did the super-putty's look down upon the regular putty's?
putty31 - I got to be a super putty a few times, Yes, we tended to look down upon the lesser puttys."
8. I Made The Game QWOP. AMA.
reddit.com
If you haven't played QWOP, don't. It is the most frustrating game of all time.
Sample exchange:
"FallenLuckDragon - You go to hell and you die
foddydotnet - ...in the form of a question, please."
9. IAMA jury member who caused a hung jury. Two months later, evidence showed the guy was indeed not guilty. AMAA.
reddit.com
Riveting. From the description:
"I had made my mind close to the end of the trial. He was not guilty. There was definitely not enough evidence to convict him. The woman had given (a really tearful) testimony but admitted she couldn't identify him. ... The jury hearing looked like it would last less than an hour.
By the 45-minutes mark, most jury member had made their minds: he was guilty. By the 1h15 mark, all jury members decided he was guilty.
Except for me."

Another depressing one, but with a number of fascinating insights into the way schools are run and teachers are treated.

13. I was on Pimp My Ride. AMA

The sordid truth about Pimp My Ride. Well, not exactly sordid, but, like, turns out getting your ride pimped isn't quite as awesome as you might have thought.
14. IAmA gay guy who married a straight girl. AMA.
reddit.com
This one's more heartwarming than you might expect.
Sample exchange:
"Can you explain why?
AnomalyXY - She was my best friend and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, regardless of whether I was sexually attracted to her. She's the best human being I know."
15. IAmA 5 year McDonald's employee. FML AMA
