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 heard a story from a friend in the Canadian military. One of his friends was celebrating Canada's 125 anniversary in a British pub. The bartender laughed and said their thatched roof was older than that.

In Europe 100 miles is far. In North America 100 years is old. If we built (and maintained) better, our houses would last longer.
