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?

True but from my experience people who succeeded in getting a degree from a decent institution tend to be a bit more cerebral. Now there are incresing numbers of sorta crap institutions and im not even sure what the quality of education is like in the modern era at my alma matter. Its kinda to bad we can't all be able to take a one semester sebattical every 5 years or so and take like 3 classes and live on a campus and see what things are like. It would kinda be cool.
