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 30 year old ostrich egg.

I'm no Ostrich expert, but I think that egg is defective if it has yet to hatch in 30 years.

You should get a refund

That's one hell of a gestation period.
