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.

Other languages have words to describe lengths in a more "poetic" way.
In Spanish we have "leguas" which I'm sure was a unit of length, but gun to my head, can't tell how far one is.
