This is the thread where we ask people to dig up things on ILX we can't find

did i hallucinate a 77 thread polling the best verse on the flava in ya ear remix? maybe i did. the winner seems like a foregone conclusion

i did find this: grime jobs centre

is there a general privatization of public services thread?

Isn't there a thread of MS Paint self-portraits?

Thanks, Stan. Either there is another one or I imagined the whole thing. But thank you for looking.

That thread with all the "one weird trick" ads

Your ________ HATES this one simple trick

Can someone direct me to the thread with the "shit, piiiiisss" youtube video of the flaming car? Or just the youtube video. Thanks.

Had cause to find this a short while ago. Best thing the cranberries ever did.

There was a thread (maybe poll) with lots of links to a white-haired oligarch's comically tasteless house - any ideas?

At some point, someone posted a link to a live recording of Talking Heads. Had an absolutely killer version of Psycho Killer. Can anyone point me towards that? Fanks.

is it this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNAzXlDaHQU

is there an ILM thread where people list band names that have never been mentioned on the board before. i feel like there is

what i thought of but perhaps not what you're looking for ILx "first mentions"

Name ten artists YOU have never seen mentioned on ILM.

there we go

HELLO PLEASE HELP

some time ago there was a discussion about all of the controversies surrounding the concept of IQ. somebody posted a few links to a lengthy statistical critique of the whole concept of "g" or general intelligence.

i can't for the life of me remember what the discussion was tho. if you remember, or if you have those links handy, please post!!!!

last year crooked timber did a long critique of that, around when andrew sullivan was revisiting the bell curve

Was it this thread Should scientists study race and IQ?

both good ideas but no. this was a v basic designed site (and not very readable, 8 pt font etc) and pretty math-y in spots

iirc it wasn't on a direct thread on the subject but it came up elsewhere.

Not sure if I remember where it was posted here, but you're probably looking for Cosma Shalizi @ three toed sloth: http://cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/weblog/523.html

thassit, tyvm!!

HULLO

i need a thing there was a whole thread discussing: an american project to design a set of hazard markers for an ultra-long-term nuclear waste dump, one that specifically would be recognisable in the event of a total societal collapse which left no common languages or symbolic assumptions still standing, so that if some future agrarian plains-dwelling american tribe came across it they'd know not to exhume the stuff because they'd get sick and die.

anyone? the thread title was just a line from the documents discussed iirc

This place is not a place of honor…no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here… nothing valued is here.

thank youu

I remember this pic, because I posted it here, but damn if I can remember where. Have to some detective work to see if I can find it elsewhere on the net...

Thanks Tuomas!

I have no idea why I wanted it now though...

there's a thread with recommendations for pc speakers somewhere, right?

got it i got a new computer and i really need speakers for it (i swear i searched for computer speakers...)

does anyone remember a long clusterfuck (or maybe politics) thread on ILE from a few years ago where someone accidentally posted a large image of the album cover of Bob Dylan - Empire Burlesque right in the middle of a heated debate

i am looking for that thread

also what's the name of that 'post your favorite old ILX posts' thread we had last year for our 10th anniversary?

In Honor Of ILX Being Ten, How About Some Quotable Posts Of Yore. ?
In Honor Of ILX Being Ten, How About Some Quotable Posts Of Yore.

don't we have a thread for all those shoes that keep washing up in Canada?

all those severed feet washing up on vancouver island

I thought there was another one too though

that's the one I'm thinking of I think. thanks.

the other, for reference Is anyone missing their right foot?

fake facts about bands?

The most interesting pieces of pop music trivia that you know (that are 100% false) ?

Thanks!

there used to be a thread with a title like THAT SHIT CRAY OR SHIT IS CRAY where people would post pictures of crayfish and other mollusks. I can't remember if it was on ile or 1p3 or even noize board, but the search function is turning up nothing. I have a fun crayfish photo I need to share http://i.imgur.com/HfYVf.gif

(excuse me, that's crustaceans, not mollusks)
