A toss-up for me: [Is there any reason why sperm would be bad for my fish?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=249524), General Questions, OP **Godska** , started 6 Apr, 2004. The “Well?” was sheer artistry. However, the ongoing [Would you shoot your child and kill your child in this situation?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=289696), Great Debates, OP **Kel Varnsen - Latex Division** , started 2 Dec 2004 is surreal in its development. ---

Another vote for the semen/fish thread. That was the first thread I thought of when I saw the title of this thread. For my money, that wins hands down. Or fins down. Or pants down. Or something. ---

I was just looking for a pit thread I particularly liked (still looking, I’ll come back if I do find it) and found this: [Logic is meaningless](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=145000) It just sounds so… deep. Not that I’ve read it or anything. Anyway, how about we try to get separate nominations for each forum, or maybe “funniest,” “most important,” “most surreal,” etc. Something like that… ---

A Template.** [[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=262175](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=262175)] It was funnier at the time than it is now, but I still like it.

I’d like to nominate **HelenTroy** ’s [Tomorrow may mark the end of my marriage](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=285662). not exactly sidesplittingly funny, but it shows the SDMB community pulling together to support a member in a bad situation.

Since my name was mentioned, I might as well nominate [Lobsang’s Lemons](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=263184&page=1&pp=50) . I do love this thread dearly. Also, my personal introduction to posting with a core group that later evolved into a mini-club with a name and a website of its own was this one: [Danalan’s Snowball](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=250465&page=1&pp=50) There are other candidates of course, but I shall limit myself to these two.
