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.

Maybe the reason that the leaning tower of pisa is leaning is because they chipped away too much for their medals and they forgot about symmetry.

So what I am reading is if I go win every medal. I can build my own Eiffel Tower. Thus making the one in Paris a replica.

In my whole long life, this is the only thing that's inspired me to compete in and win something at the Olympics.
