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.

Fun fact; there are about as many Norwegians in north America as there are Norwegians in Norway.

Not really. But there are as many Americans who identifies as Norwegians in the US as there are actual Norwegians. They aren't Norwegians though, they are US citizens with (some) Norwegian ancestors.

I'm talking about Norwegians as an ethnic group, not citizens. There are about 4.45 million Norwegians in Norway and 5 million in North America.

Yeah, I am one of those. A US citizen with some Norwegian culture and ancestors, but I wasn’t born nor raised in Norway
