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.

My favorite part:

"I am sure some in our audience have questions for our various experts up on stage?" Ms Voigtschild said after the mud was found. There were none.
