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.

Now, I know it was a LONG time ago, but even a drunk toddler could do a rounder coin than... that.
Child labor laws were a little different then. It may have indeed been made by a drunk toddler.
if i was a toddler and had to work i'd be drunk too
It was surely made rounder, but gotten less so through it's lifetime of use and just age.
