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.

Mexico can take over Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas. Canada can take over Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri. Kansas City can be a Free City where Canadians and Mexicans mingle, spy on each other in cafes, kiss, etc.
