Not just boring, but an obscure subject displayed on something as common as a calendar is often a good talking point because it's so, well, different and something to talk about. Let's face it, roundabouts are a feature of life for anyone who drives or travels a bit.
I too remember seeing, hearing or reading something about obscure calendars and how they could be surprisingly popular. One was a different picture of a Celtic cross or obelisks or something like that for each month, you can even get personalised ones with pictures of family members or pets printed on each month - think I saw that in Dublin somewhere, along with books where you could personalise stories by inclusion of a child's name and their friends' names so that the computer printed the pages with those names replacing the blanks and when you went back a little while later and it had all been bound and ready to read!
