Internet Time-Travelling

I'm endlessly amused by internet discussion boards and in particular, the lack of time perception. What really beats anything else is stumbling upon someone's question from a decade ago that others are still responding to. Recently I read a women's query about a good route for driving up the west coast of the US. Eight years later, clueless people were still suggesting itineraries. She's probably died already !

Reviving old threads may be stupid but it's still great for a laugh. On a lazy Sunday afternoon, for your own entertainment I recommend searching for the oldest message boards you can find and adding gormless comments. Here are some ideas:

"LOL Blackadder last night" on a tv forum

"Am flying Compass, then Pan Am" on a travel forum

"New Coke is soooo sweeet"

"Can Lendl beat Becker?"
