Interesting old threads

Postby icefest » Wed 11 Feb, 2015 9:34 am

After hearing a story about someone going back through history, reading old threads I've decided to do something similar.
As I'll be trying to avoid necroposting; I'll use this thread to post the most interesting old threads for others to enjoy.

Inspiration from http://xkcd-time.wikia.com/wiki/Blitzing
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Disappointing thread about climate change. I hope opinions have swayed over the past record setting years.

As the OP, is your wish for members to comment on the interesting threads here, in the threads themselves, or not at all?

That's up to you.

I'm posting this as an index of old threads that I find noteworthy for some reason. If you feel you can add to to the thread (and think it is appropriate) then by all means post.
