You find an interesting title, click it and start reading. Then you read a post referencing this as a zombie thread. Yet, the recent post fit in the narrative and you have to scroll up and find it.

What had the longest time difference, where the first 2011 post added onto the last 2004 (or so) post? Without a zombie being referenced.

I guess “[can you dig yourself out of a grave](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=289231)” fits the bill: 11/2004 -\> 02/2012  
Apt topic for a zombie thread too!
