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 was gonna say, this looks more like blotter paper than braille.

Ohh, yes that makes much more sense. I was trying to figure out why a blind person would need to graph soemthing out.

When it doubt, the answer is drugs. Always drugs.

The paper was in with a bunch of braille GED study books. One might need to do some graphing to get one's GED.

Graphing is still necessary for the blind, but it's more common to use a plastic sheet on a hard rubber clipboard with a stylus that causes the plastic to rise up when it's pressed with a bit of force. (Though while googling for it I found plenty of examples like yours so maybe less common than I thought)
