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.

2013... gosh that brings me back. I remember the doom and gloom predictions that 2012 was the end of the world. 2012 and 2013 were the best damn days of my life

It turns out the Mayan calendar just cycles when it reaches the end. Also the world ended for them much longer ago than 2012..
