That makes my special interests superior. It also makes me smarter than everyone else on the planet. And more important. And a better cook. And it gives me superpowers. I can turn invisible. :P


Ah, but can you sing the goatherd song from The Sound of Music?

One of interests is human behavior; specifically, violent behavior. I've immersed myself over the years with the study and history of genocides and conquests, tortures and punishment, wars and invasions, executions and imbroglios, prejudices and intolerance, mass and serial killers, Countess Bathory and Vlad the Impaler, Martyrs Mirror and other written accounts of violence, and you know what, I'm no closer to understanding you violent humans at all. You perplex me to no end.

Darn. I think I only know about half of the lyrics.

But I know this song by heart:



It's a classic.
