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.

TL;DR They were all hype to open this time capsule but there was just mud in it.

Those scamps at East Point have done it again.

But it's old mud. You can squish it between your fingers just like they did in 1829. Kinda reminds me of the whole Geraldo Rivera and Jimmy Hoffa's vault it whatever it was.

It'll also be slightly-less-radioactive mud without the dust from nuclear weapons on it.
