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.

I'm from Wyoming and I'm calling bullshit on that number. Unless they talked to people living in the town of Midwest.

Not only is Wyoming solidly in the west, Wyoming arguably defines the west. Cowboys, sagebrush, the Rockies... If any part of Wyoming is "the midwest," so is the moon.

Isn't the tourism "mascot" for WY a cowboy? Kinda screams Western state to me.

The cowboy on the bucking bronco is also on their license plate.
