Okay fine...
Nope, can't say I can cook anything other than pastas, pizzas, and popcorn.
Yes I have my recreational pilots licence, so that my grandfather can still enjoy his homebuilts.
I never said I was a forensics specialist, but that I had witnesses a beheading in the former Yugoslavia, as well as the aftermath of aproximately 6 more. So I based my comments on personal experiece (as I stated).
I do have three years of psychology and social anthropology under my belt, so I felt that I could make some comments based on in class and personal observations... silly me....
Never claimed to understand everything.. advanced economic theories for one (dabbled but found it to boring to try to understand)... or university level physics, chemistry, biology (other than evolutionary), geology, any of the engineering specializations (or engineers either
), foreign languages (to my shame), or modern art. I have a lot that I don't understand... but I have a lot that I do (you know being old and all).
As for reading... thats all I really do... books, magazines, newspapers... I generally spend about $800-1000 a year on books for education outside of school.. I believe you can never know enough, nor never stop learning.
As for eating out of your hole... sorry I'm not your weekend trick....
