unbibiumIt occurs to me that "Rule 34" seems to be the Internet's answer to "The Aristocrats". (both NSFW)
I explained Rule 34 to someone recently, and he noted that it seems to focus most heavily on the niche of icons of our childhood, or other things on TV. The Encyclopedia Dramatica article I linked above supports this assertion. Perhaps that's for the best, because it's not as if taking it into true uncharted waters would help anyone. Things I can think of include: radiation sickness, the moons of Jupiter, the neutron star beings from the book Dragon's Egg, and cilantro. Are the folks on 7-chan clever enough to find or make porn of any of that? Well, I don't think I care enough to join 7-chan and find out. (Update: Someone has anonymously posted copies of this message there for me. Uh, thanks?)
I have a possible cure for Rule 34, but it needs some refinement before I share it.
