My dad told me stories about kite fighting and showed me how to use glue and glass on the string to make a knife that would cut the other line. It’s not a sport that’s directly harmful unless you try to grab the string.

Or unless a kite with a cut line drifts into power lines, or helicopter rotors, or traffic, or a factory smokestack…

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.
