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.

Edit:
Just realized the correct name for the tree is actually maple.

False friend caused mistake because its name is "Ahorn" in German.
Keeping the heading as it is, because it is funny, although it might trigger the Canadians (sorry, dudes!).

Do you have a neighbor named Aureliano? If so, check on his family

Not that I know of...

Why?

Is this some kind of insider reference or should l go and have a look at the door bell nameplates of the neighbouring buildings for some reason?

It's a reference to "100 Years of Solitude". >!When the patriarch Aureliano Buendía dies, yellow flowers rain all over the streets of his town!<
