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.

No. That clearly states that the material it is made from is "Stainless West Germany", which is a type of steel made mainly from iron, west, germany, and chromium.
Wrong again. Germany was divided into West Germany and East Germany. West Germany was further divided into Stainable West Germany and Stainless West Germany and that's where it was made.
Close, but actually Stained Germany was divided after the war into Stainless West Germany and Rusty Red East Germany.
They were separated by the Iron Curtain.
To make things even more complicated, Rust is actually in West Germany, close to the French border
Isn't that the town where they've started rewriting parts of Linux?
Explains why West Germany no longer exists.
