Is there anything that cannot be found on the internet?

[Zkribbler]

In another thread, Birdjaguar asked: "Is there anything that cannot be found on the internet?'

After giving this some thought, the only thing I haven't been able to find are the lyrics to "Chocolate Kisses," a parody of "Passionate Kisses."

What else is missing?

Not been able to find a free copy of the original Canonflex SLR camera manual.

The very long "Crow: Stairway to Heaven"-inspired poem I wrote nearly 20 years ago, thought was lost several moves ago, and just found it yesterday in a packing box.

Or at least it's not on the internet yet.

I haven't been able to find a solution to the Riemann Hypothesis, the Twin prime conjecture, or a number of other stuff. QED the internet sucks.

There are no interior photos of the official residence of Columbia University in New York City.

Maps of the surfaces of any extrasolar planets.

Actually there's pretty much an infinite amount of things that can't be found on the internet...

Good arguments for the existence of God.

Depends on whether you're talking about real planets or fictitious ones. There are numerous maps of the surface of Arrakis.

But real ones... yeah. We're not quite there yet. They keep finding the weird planets that take mere days to orbit their parent star.

A lot of stuff actually.

-Various programming questions/api documentation from older systems
-Local information. Like I'll hear about some township info word of mouth but not be able to find it online. Struggling to think of a specific example at the moment though.
-Specific product info on certain things, like I was looking for a review of a samsung tv by model number 3290 and all I could find was 3300 reviews. After a little digging they are supposedly the same tv, but someone else said the 3300 has less lag on its menus so maybe they aren't the same tv. Very hard to tell.
-Nintendo/super nintendo classics in stock for msrp.
-Information on people who aren't famous. Like have you ever googled an old friend? Unless they have maybe some archived newspaper there's usually nothing except maybe a white pages listing somewhere.

Well... obviously real ones.

- the answer to most programming questions I have ^^
- and neither the data which I'd sometimes need
- a picture of me with my name (either alone exist)

My question was provoked by a post that mentioned "napkins" which was followed immediately by Perfection's post of a song about napkins. While there are lots of things not on the internet (such as personal pictures and writing of lots of people, etc.) I am amazed at what is there. Do you want to know how to wear a hat? It is there. Do you need to fix a doorbell? There are videos to watch. Do you want to know the average bra cup size by nation? Search the internet. Penis length across the world? No problem. How about daily deaths in London? 276 on average. China? Not known. Want to teach your cat tricks. There are lots of resources. Need a song about Pink Slippers? They are out there. Need to know how many men color their hair? It's out there. Want to relive my HS senior prom? You can listen to the music of that long gone band on the internet. http://www.baltimorejam.org/Lafayettes/lafayettes.html

I am constantly amazed.

I think the more precise and interesting question would be: "Is there anything you'd expect to be on the internet, but isn't?"

Dont ask what Internet can do for you, ask what government agencies can get of you.

Yes, google maps does not accurate display my house or neighborhood despite my house being constructed 2 years ago. I think the mapping it 5 years old at least. Sometimes gps cannot find my address, it will get you to my street entrance only.

I've never been interested in any of those things. And since I remember which song was the theme for my Grade 12 grad ("Time in a Bottle"), I won't need to look it up.

Oh, maybe it is my Google-fu, but I have not found a good map, with the names of the features on the far side of the moon.
