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.

I believe most paints have been switched over to having low VOC content due to increased cancer risk. That means book reading might be cancerous to your health! (Or maybe not.)
