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.

You’ve been subscribed to Heron Facts.

Did you know that while they may move slowly, Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher?

I did not know that! Thank you Heron Facts!

Like flying sloths! They can move quickly when they really want to as well.

Unfortunately the only fly straight down, and they only stop after reaching the floor.

Wait, those were regular sloths!
