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.

Blonde = female; blond = male

But that's the french's fault.

I thought it was blond = hair colour and blonde = person with blond hair.

I shit you not, that is the etymological distinction between the two.

How strictly that distinction is observed is an open question.
