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.

Bunker gear is the typical 'fire-proof' gear you see firefighters in when they might go into a burning building. Big, bulky, heavy, and often made of asbestos.

Bunker gear isn't using asbestos anymore. It would be nomex and kevlar now.

True, but I was thinking the sign might be from as far back as the microwave one.
