Interestingly, the longest thread on PH is the Liverpooooool FC one running at Vol 19 currently.
Which is nice.
That's 19 x 500 x 20 = 190,000 things that PH users have felt obliged to say about Liverpoooooool FC.

My favourite is cycle related, Italian bottom bracket thread = M36 x 26 tpi
How they came up with that I’ll never now. Both sides right hand thread, too. Weird.

I was using the old fashioned valve core caps from bicycles for a completely different purpose and needed the male part in aluminium to fit it. It emerged that the valves on the original cycle inner tubes had this weird thread type (5/16" at a guess).
You can't get more arcane than this though:

This is a metric thread system devised by the British for small screws used in components like speedos. Not metric like you might expect, but with diameters determined by a factor proportional to a power of the logarithm to the base 10 of the thread pitch in millimeters.
