Is there already a thread on Stalemates that "shouldn't" have been? In otherwords Stalemates when one side had a significant material (&/or) positional advantage?

Saw this game referred to in the thread on resigning.

Game 4301926

Stalemates in situations where one side has a ridiculous material advantage are actually quite normal and occurs frequently.

I love the rule of stalemate!
It always brings out a laughter from within. (When I'm not the victim, of course.)
The creator of chess has a good sense of humour (GSOH) !
