Re: What has captured your interest?General knowledge. I find it amazing how some people can know so much useless information. Whenever I encounter random facts I make a small effort to remember them. For example, over the Olympics I have learnt London hosted it in 1908, 1948, and obviously 2012. Who knows, perhaps that will come useful in a pub quiz sometime

Re: What has captured your interest?What about girls?
But seriously, I spend so many hours on my computer daily just reading up on physics and biology as well as religions/ atheism (surprised that's not an option).
QI helps with my dose of general knowledge

Re: What has captured your interest?I think that was a hard question. Theres different aspects in about 4 of them that equally capture my interest. But yet all differ for each other. In the end I choose Economics though just fascinated by the way societies organise themselves and who gets what and how its all allocated. Also how its widley applicable to many different areas of society.
Close three were Art and desgin (particularly architecture), History and Science. -

What about girls?

as well as religions/ atheism (surprised that's not an option).
But no I noticed the latter was missing ... Im sure that counts as a worthy subject matter. -

Re: What has captured your interest?I love learning about the universe, quantum stuff, how stuff is made/works and some just general stuff.
I literally have next to no interest in politics, economics or history though. I wish I did, and I need to read about it, because I know so little and they're pretty important.

Re: What has captured your interest?Love science - mainly biological and chemical. I also like being able to spout random bits of general knowledge. Even better when the two overlap. For example, I know what happens if you put a Siamese cat in a fridge..

Re: What has captured your interest?London is also the first city to have hosted the olympics three times. Just another random/vaguely linked fact(Original post by RobertWhite)

Science, languages, history and economics interest me greatly. Overall prefer the first two though. Astronomy+cosmology <3 -
