Insects.

I mean, I'm not a lover of them, spiders freak me out and I'll happily swat a fly or wasp.
But they're just weird, aren't they?
They don't have blood or lungs, but they live!

Oh, and don't tell me that spiders aren't insects - I know.

And Spartans.
I watched 300 a couple of times recently, and since I've been doing a lot of reading into ancient Greece and Sparta. It's all fascinating.

All those butch blokes, all oiled up...

Er...

 

Making gadgets out of old stuff - at the moment i am making a wall hanging jukebox using an old tft that had the glass smashed, car amp some speakers and a thin client all mounted in swish alloy cabinet!

Love the streamlined 1930s art deco period and architecture, collect bits and bobs from this era.
Circuit design and old Valve equipment...and yes the sound is much better, i restore valve radios (when i find time... not too often nowadays)

 

[pedant]Spiders are arachnids not insects[/pedant]

Palaeontology still fascinates me - has done since I was about five. One day I'll chuck IT in and go do what I was born to do - dig dinosaurs up out of the desert

 

Well they should be.

And indeed, they are in my world.
If it makes me scream like a girl and run around flapping my arms as if I'm trying to take off, then it's an insect.
Only definition you need.

And if I get close enough to see how many legs or body parts it's got, then it's too late.

 

Pleae don't think I'm weird, but the psychology of serial killers. The way that their brains operate and how they are wired, the conditioning that is sometimes related to their outcomes, the total lack of empathy, all of that stuff. Just how a human can become so removed from what is deemed civilised society is facsinating to me.

Oh, and the history of World War 2, love reading up about that. Mostly because of the technological advances that were made but again also the mindsets and psychologies of the soldiers involved.

 

What happens when you die...........sorry for being morbid!

 

Zeb makes you scream like a girl and run around flapping your arms, and HE'S not an insect...

 

BOOBIES!!! Boobies fascinate me!

The way they hang, the fact that they come in various shapes and sizes, the movement, so majestic and mesmorising as they bounce up and down, the little button on the end that you can twiddle and play with like a radio knob or doorbell... ohhhh just sooooooo fascinating.....

hmmmm mmmmm starting to drool and ribble, sorry folks! QUICK NURSE! THE SCREENS!!!!

 

Sounds like a cool project. I love the whole recycling, fix-up stuff. I think it rubbed off from my Dad who would never buy something he could make himself, from carpet rugs, to meat pies to coffee tables and bikes. My favorite bike when I was a kid was one he put together out of old bikes recycled from the tip. He built me a fishing rod the same way.

This blog here is pretty good, and demonstrates just how wasteful the western world can be sometimes.

What fascinates me? IT stuff for a start. Theology is a fascinating subject, along with philosophy. Also, Me and the little one have recently started Karate lessons, and the whole history, science, technique and philosophy of different martial arts have got me gripped.

Yeah me too really. I find military technology and the advancements over the many years very interesting indeed. I can happly sit through endless documentaries about the various wars etc.. I certainly don't like the terrible concequences of war, but do find the study of them fascinating.

 

Same here.

I love watching documentaries about war, also things like Warship, Airforce Afghanistan, etc.

I find the whole aspect of service life facinating - the discipline, Uniforms, lifestyle.

 

ooo kay

 

What's also fascinating is some of the brilliant 'ideas' have been dreamed up and even carried out, the infamour 'bombs on bats' during world war 2, or the sticky hand grenade I think the Germans developed which was actually so sticky the person couldn't get it off their hands

 

Same here.

I'm oddly drawn to the navy.

Warship was brilliant.
You never see them doing any actual work, do you?

 

Everything.

Seriously, I'm incredibly unfocussed when it comes to outside interests, music, art, science, photography, cinematography, psychology, sociology, politics, and a thousand other things. My collection of options for things I would do if I wasn't in IT is ridiculously huge, the problem is this means I tend to move on to the next thing before the last is finished.
