Mind blown.

Did you know that Richard Ayoade, who played Moss in 'the IT-crowd' debuted on tv in 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace'?

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.
