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.

In the US, number plates are in Highway Gothic which is designed to maximise legibility at a distance.

That's ironic. Few countries have less readable plates.
