Episode Synopsis

I enjoy learning about things, amassing knowledge about stuff, having the answer ready should some obscure, vexing question arise. This innate drive was expressed, as I recall, with a fascination of many things in the scientific realm. Not so in-depth with biological sciences. The dynamics of human bodily functions confuses and, I must admit, sometimes gags me with a spoon. Unless they were more about admiring the external beauty as expressed in the colorful shells boasted by lizards, snakes, and the living dinosaurs we currently identify as birds (no matter if birds are or are not real). Give me rocks, tree leaves, or components in the physical sciences, and I was in wholeheartedly building upon the growing catalogue of useless facts I could unleash in an instant when prompted.
