Mildly Interesting

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.

TIL the NY Times Crossword isn't a Cryptic.

Which personally is a good thing, because I've always been terrible at cryptic crosswords. But I'm now a lot less impressed by anyone who says they complete the NY Times crossword...

They had to show their bias somehow ;)

But "It's a wrap!" is a perfectly valid answer for filming either.

I doubt I would have ever figured "leased" as something being "let out, in a way".

I think they reused the gimmick because I definitely remember this from a few days ago

Yesterday in which year? This is ancient.

No idea. It was my first time seeing it, so I just thought it was neat and wanted to share.

Yesterday puzzmo.com did it with "what colour was the dress". You could either answer blue or gold and it fit. But it wasn't as good as this one. And I don't think You can access archived crosswords on puzzmo.

Edit: It was today, so You can still access it for a couple of hours.
