If you would like to share what your interests and obsessions are in this thread, I think it would be fascinating. I think posting links would be great idea as well

These are a few of mine, all youtube videos.

Jumping Spiders http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6NUWz7g ... re=related

Urban Exploration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoXVsg62 ... re=related

Number Stations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCTT_S7Z ... re=related

Abandoned Tube and subway stations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05A9Li9qWHk

This is interesting for me because I have never compared my interests before, and come to think of it, they are all to do with what alot of people would find spooky, dangerous and mysterious, but I find them so incredibly fascinating!
I enjoy sharing my passions with others and I would love to know what kind of special interests you guys on these forums have

(Edit: I forgot about this one!

I like whales and dolphins. I like reading about them and watching documentaries about them.

I also love parkour which is a martial art based around the concept of efficiency of movement. Its usually practiced in urban areas and is often called "free-running"

This is a video about it:

'Complex play

Dolphins are known to engage in complex play behaviour, which includes such things as producing stable underwater toroidal air-core vortex rings or "bubble rings".[14] There are two main methods of bubble ring production: rapid puffing of a burst of air into the water and allowing it to rise to the surface, forming a ring; or swimming repeatedly in a circle and then stopping to inject air into the helical vortex currents thus formed.'

Fascinating! I knew dolphins were playful, I wonder why they do this? I never realised how similar a dolphins brain looked when compared to a humans.

^ I'm interested in the logo sites, what is it about logos you find particularly intriguing? When I was little I loved the Nissan logo for some reason, I think its because it used to look like a hamburger hehe

I haven't played the games though; I've just seen the anime adaption.

Great site! Its a very good idea as well.
May I ask who is it that has the passion about antique radios?
Do you enjoy shortwave radio? Its where my interest in number stations came from.

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:
