I’m kind of a newbie 'roud here. I’ve been reading “the Dope” for a few months and only recently started participating. I’ve gone back and read a lot of old threads along w/ the new.
I’m looking for some really interesting threads which you would consider worthwhile. I’ve seen a large variety, from the fascinating to the truly stupid. I notice there’s a large gap at the first of this year, damned shame!
Question: What thread would you recommend? why?

I nominate [“Am I farting holes in my underwear?”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=65473&highlight=farting+holes).
I was glad to see it asked, because that question had just been _eating_ at me.

It’s pretty hard to go past [threadspotting](http://straightdope.com/mailbag/threadspotting.html) if you’re after the all-time classics.

This thread about the [WTC crash](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=86458&perpage=50&highlight=world%20trade&pagenumber=1) as events unfolded is interesting.

The [Everything Changed](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87248) thread is indelibly burned into my brain - for reasons which will become apparent when you read the OP by **Cartooniverse**.

The GQ forum is for questions with factual answers. I’ll move this to IMHO.
