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.

the compass set at my drafting desk has the marking

GERMANY

U.S. ZONE

i may perhaps take a photo sometime :)
