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 pronounce it as "flet" because it's a combination of f, L, t and E. And if you think that's ridiculous, wait until you hear about the British Imperial system.

The British imperial system invades other countries, makes them use pounds and feet, and then leaves.
