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.

No shit, America is 300 million people and Ireland is 5 million people... smaller than NYC. There will ALWAYS be more Americans going to Ireland than Irish going to America.

This article infuriates me I can't even.

Next in news "More people die of rabies in USA than New Zealand! Wow!"
