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.

Hey, thanks for the info! I didn't have the mental energy to hit up Wikipedia and fall down that rabbit hole to find it myself last night.

Fun fact: I once dated a girl who had TWO of these Xolos. They have a vibe all their own, let me tell ya.
The older one didn't really care too much for me one way or the other, but the younger one... one time I shooed her away from something in my own bedroom, she stared right at me, turned to the floor to throw up, then looked back up to keep staring at me. It was unnerving.

Another fun fact: the professional soccer team from Tijuana are called The Xolos.
