Bikeshed refers to topics which have never recieved concensus and are likely to generate side-discussions and flames unless all participants are well-read on all the past history. It stems from the idea that big changes (like the building of a power plant) go through quickly, since everyone assumes that someone else has checked it out, while simple changes (like building a bikeshed) often get mired in bureaucracy, since everyone has an opinion on it.
Tom posted a bikeshed topic to the mailing list and awoke to 11,358 messages in his inbox.

bikeshedding 

Technical disputes over minor, marginal issues conducted while more serious ones are being overlooked. The implied image is of people arguing over what color to paint the bicycle shed while the house is not finished. (jargon file)
I'm not pointing fingers as I get sucked into those discussions just like everyone else, but the bikeshedding-to-action ratio is fabulously high.

A type of practical joke which usually involves taking the victim's cellphone and texting a friend or relative with some devastating news. The victim then has their cellphone returned to them, and are left to deal with the consequences of the text message - which is all intended in good humour. The name Brikesh is derived from the inventors of the joke - two Portsmouth university students called Brijesh and Malkesh.
Amelia was the victim of a Brikesh when they texted her mum to say that she was pregnant.
