"Have you ever throttled a mountain lion with your bare hands?"

I think you need to actually experience a story to use it as an icebreaker. Nobody likes a liar.

Exactly. It's not that there are 39 Awesome Icebreakers For Hackers, but rather that I have stories and experiences that (more or less) relate to almost anyone I'm likely to meet.

And yes, the stories are often more fun in the telling than in the living.
