OK - I bit. For those dying to know, it's actually pretty easy. From the top of the Google list:
1. If necessary, soak the gammon (ham) in cold water to reduce saltiness, according to butcher or packet instructions (most do not need this anymore as curing methods have changed).
2. Weigh to calculate the cooking time.
3. Place in a large pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil.
Boiled dinners are pretty big in Europe and it seems nearly all the top responses have a .UK or are UK related so I guess we have to depend upon our cousins to get it right. . .
P.S. We don't boil Lobster much up here - steaming is the way to go. Much easier and quicker too.
P.S.S. No worries here Miss Celllania - outside of soup, why would anyone boil a ham?

This is a really fascinating historical report. Here’s where the slow death of the newspaper industry started. The Columbus Dispatch, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Examiner, the Los Angeles Times and The Minneapolis Star and Tribune were in the vanguard for getting their “content” online and for free. “We’re not in it to make money. We’re probably not going to lose a lot, but we aren’t going to make much either.”
They didn’t realize the ramifications of what they were doing and once the gates opened. . .

I can understand leaving out It's About Time, short run, hardly anyone's ever of it:

And maybe The Jetsons because it was a cartoon and not prime time:

But NOT The Flintstones. Too much history there:

47. Reefer Madness, Glen or Glenda and Plan 9 From Outer Space are classic bad - they should be on a must watch list. I saw Santa Claus Conquers the Martians as a new release when I was 7. My dad took us and fell asleep half-way through - snoring like crazy. Really embarrassing. When I told that story to my daughters, they made me watch it with them. What goes around - no way I could make it through - fell asleep myself. . .

Try adding a tablespoon of sugar, tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons baking powder to your recipe. Yum. . .

The cheapest, most nutritious food in human history, that according to the post right above also causes cancer. Maybe this is the causation everyone's looking for. . .

I had to read the Slate article twice to understand the problem (pun intended). I completely get it and it's indicative of how far we've come in thinking mathematically. But math should not be open to such interpretation - that's one way we can accidentally blow up the world and can probably explain a lot of the problems we experience with computers. It took me 2 seconds to come up with 9 as the answer. This was just a game though. I'd like to think if the author wanted 1 as an answer, the problem would've been 6/(2(1 + 2)).

If he had run between the bear and some cubs, or the bear was simply hungry, he would have been dead by the 3:24 mark. . .

"But whether disco was murdered or died a natural death, it was still a target years later."
If it died a natural death - great. If it was murdered - even better.

". . .so he subsequently declined to do any more work for the magazine." He's done something else that actually made publication or this is just an empty threat? Sorry Mr. Crumb, but this one just isn't right. Perhaps you could do something on Mr. Madoff for us? I don't think so.
R. Crumb and the New Yorker in the same sentence is an oxymoron if there ever was one. This would be a riot on The Onion though. . .

It's a dessert - what would you expect instead, Brussels sprouts? The legislature has since changed this anyway. Out of fear of offending those who back the State Fruit (blueberry), the Whoopie Pie is now going to be the official State Snack. . .
