[quote="shadoeslayer"]My main obsessions (which drive my WHOLE family nuts) are Numbers, different languages and how they compare to English, War and why people start them, and pointing out/correcting other people's grammatical errors. I USED to be obsessed with electronics, but after taking many of them apart and not being able to fix them, I gave up on that.[/quote]
