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.

Dinosaurs really had the jump on mammals in terms of time to evolve flying ability, but I've got faith more mammals can go that way.

Of all of the alien fauna I saw in Australia, seeing fruit bats fly over at dusk was the most memorable. (Finding engorged leeches between my toes was the second, and the emotion was quite different.)
