Misunderstood thread title: [Why are there so many old suburbans?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=836103) I thought the OP was asking about the age of people living in the 'burbs. ---

At first I thought that one was about old suburbs. To which my ready answer was, “A metric crapload of them got built just after WWII. Which is now coming up on 75 years ago. That’s why they’re all so old.” Then I opened the thread. :smack: ---

For just a split second I wondered what the thread “Can IBM results be skewed by really large breasts?” was about. Was it a new pentium scandal? Some weird misogynistic trolling? What? Then I read the title again. (Still haven’t read the thread, maybe it really is about quantum effects from breasts on microchips.) ---

There’s a thread in Cafe Society asking about an instrument in a M(ichael) Buble song. I thought the OP was asking about the song in the old Mr. Bubble bubble bath jingle. “Mr. Bubble in the tub’ll get ya squeaky clean It’s as much fun getting dirty as it is getting clean. Mr Bubble!” ---
