Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Because they're always there, haven't you gone to the edge of your county and looked at the lines? My favorites are the ones that run right through man made stuff like streets and farms.

this is how I thought longitude and latitude worked when I was little. The boat captains would just go over it like a bump on the road

I wish the world worked the way we thought it did as kids. It would be so much more interesting.

It can be tough replacing your roof if you’re on one of the lines. They can sue you if the roofers don’t get it right
