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.

So you’re telling me it’s NOT because they like to crawl into your ears while you’re asleep?
If you want to lose the solace that fact has provided you, here's another possibly also false but no less comforting bit of trivia:

Leeches after feeding would love nothing more than a dark, somewhat moist, somewhat warm, somewhat tight environment. Which a human has and is probably something you don't want a leech to get anywhere near, be glad there's no such thing as a Analwig. Oh and land leeches exist.This is blowing my mind right now... Those things gave me nightmares as a kid thinking they crawl into people's ears...
No that’s just an old wives tale.
