Threads that are certain to recur.
Oh, wait, sorry… I thought you said recurse.
More seriously, “Why aren’t porn stars arrested for prostitution?”
And I hesitate to mention it, but “.999… = 1?”
Also, I don’t think things like “Doper, I pit thee” and “Identify this movie” should count, since those typically have different subjects. You can’t just point someone to one of the previous threads.

Can I get out of paying my taxes because Ohio isn’t really a state?
I knew there was some inane mathematical thread that keeps coming up and I couldn’t remember what it was. Thank you!
And, lest I forget . . . “Does the Queen of England still have any power?”
And the ever-popular, “Is it true that Texas can split into 5 states?”
Yes, the threads that mention they have the definitive proof of the real story of the Kennedy assassination, a truly unlimited energy source for 3 cents per year, undeniable existence of the Loch Ness Monster, Amelia Earhart’s whereabouts, etc usually have links like this

Is this just MPIMS topics, or anything?*
Don’t feel as if this thread should just be restricted to any particular SDMB category.
(Although I will admit, a lot of recurring topics show up in GQ - here’s another.)
How come I can balance an egg on one end during the Spring equinox but not at any other time of the year?
And its seasonal companion,
“Today is the equinox–why aren’t sunrise and sunset exactly 12 hours apart?”

Comments on Cecil’s Columns:
The “whole nine yards” is really WWII slang for a belt of machine-gun ammo.

Let’s see if he has proof.
One I’ve noticed that doesn’t seem like an obvious candidate for frequent repetition, but shows up at least once a year, is “What movies do real men cry at?”.
Chili recipes!
What kind of knives should I buy? (or its variation: “How do I sharpen my knives?”
Those were going to be my contributions. But neither of those has shown up recently, so maybe they’re not recurring any more.
Oh, and I emailed Cecil about answering the former. I got a response from Dex saying that it would be placed on the short list, so maybe we’ll get a definitive answer someday soon.
