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.

The flag holds the world record of being the oldest continuously used national flag, that is since 1625.

While the flag might date back to 1219, it wasn't in continuous use until 1625.
