Mildly Interesting

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 love this. The evolution of the slang is so interesting. I read somewhere else that Japan started to use the symbol for "grass" to mean great laughter because the initial abbreviation "www" looks like blades of grass.
