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.

Having a girl in a red state? You are legally required to end it in "lynn," "leigh," "ly" or "ley".
And start with Oak. Apparently.
Missed that - hope I have a good lawyer.
Con. Mother: "Let's name our daughter after a tree. What's that name people use from a tree that is strong, but bends under pressure so that it never breaks?"
Con. Father: "Oak?"
Con. Mother: "No, that one definitely breaks under pressure. Also, oak is dense. Do you want our daughter to be dense?"
Con. Father: "....Professor Oak?"
Con. Mother: "Oh... It may be inevitable that our daughter will be dense. Let's go with 'oak'."
Funny how quick it changed, "lee" ending was for boys and "lynn" for girls.
