Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

64-year-old tub of lard found in Germany — still edible
ROSTOCK, Germany — A German pensioner who had kept a tub of lard in his cupboard for 64 years, took it to authorities who pronounced it very much fit for consumption — if a little tasteless.
Retired chemist Hans Feldmeier, 87, told AFP he had received the pig fat as a student in 1948 near the northern city of Rostock as part of the post-war US aid programme.
Feldmeier said he had been given the tub together with two tins of noodles and some milk.
“I just didn’t want to throw it away,†he explained.
Finally, after 64 years, he took it to food safety agents and was astonished at their appraisal.
“There is of course a slight lack of smell and taste,†sniffed Frerk Feldhusen, from the office of agriculture, food safety and fisheries in the eastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Moreover, the lard was “of gritty consistency, difficult to dissolve and looked a bit old,†the officials added.
However, “all in all, given its level of freshness and its material composition, the product is assessed as satisfactory,†Feldhusen said, adding it would stand up to today’s definition of being fit for the dinner table.

Saturated fat goes rancid much more slowly than unsaturated fat.

I'd comment, but I prefer to leave the politics of personal slander to the Right.
