There already is an Off-Topic section: it's called the Chatterbox.
No, it's called 'home node'. Most of the pictures don't have to do with Perl, and I'd say sometimes that 50% of the content total doesn't have a whit to do with Perl.
Perhaps (as the IRC chatter suggests) there just need to be more Monasteries/Coffeehouses/(insert neat site paradigm here).
