Don't think I've seen that one, but I can only imagine it was started by Marc. Threads that start off about one thing, but organically shift to being about something else, that other fm's come back and contribute to. It's hard to explain.

Threads that interest lots of different people, and individual debates break out in the threads, relating to the overall thing. Does that make any sense?

Sort of. They don't go straight from toast to aliens. They go toast to bread, to toasters, to crumbs in toasters, to cleaning, to flannels, to using the toilet in space etc. Although they wander off topic, they do so because that's just what's supposed to happen.

....yeah, those are the best threads, when everyone joins in and it's all just nonsense, with a few random facts...
