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.

As a kid on the recess playground, we had about a week long trend of looking for 4 leaf clovers. We'd run out at recess, find a clover patch, plop down and started searching. The teachers must have enjoyed that quiet week.
There was another week or two that everyone got into yo-yos, and 3/4 of the class were yo-yoing at recess. Then there were the click-clacks, until they got banned, and also the thing that spun around your ankle and you jumped over it with your other foot. The teachers must have thought we were nuts.
Jump ropes were a constant, not a fad.
