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.

The 64-year-old said it was hard to estimate the size of the iceberg at sea but figured it was at least three times the size of a regular bungalow.

What is that in international banana units?

Its 20x large boulders the size of a small boulder.

It's about 800 fahrenfeet

820,000 bananas rough estimate. Given a bungalow, including attic crawlspace, at 4500 cubic feet and a banana at .00551 cubic feet each.

This assumes the bananas have been blended or will squish and remove all gaps.
