Random geeky things you've done

Other then geography, and coin collection, I used to do a bit of pokemon.

Remembered all 251 pokemon at my best (Gold and silver) and I was able to sing the pokemon theme song and pokemon collecters song in Japanese.

I would say history, but after knowing Org, I kinda lost my confidence...

Wow, I did this as well! I looked so often at an atlas, one classmate once claimed I must have eaten one. Also, I can recognize most countries at their shape and draw a world map just out of memory. Don't ask me for rivers and similar in my home country though!

Btw, the capital of Togo is Lomé.

I know all Canadian provinces and territories and their capitals

Nova Scotia - Halifax
New Brunswick - Fredericton
Prince Edward Island - Charlottetown
Newfoundland - St. John's
Québec - Québec City
Ontario - Toronto
Manitoba - Winnipeg
Saskatchewan - Regina
Alberta - Edmonton
British Columbia - Victoria
Yukon Territory - Whitehorse
Northwest Territories - Yellowknife
Nunavut Territory - Iqualuit (Frobisher Bay)

As a kid, I knew:

Everyone's birthday
Everyone's phone number (home, mobile and email addresses where applicable)
Countries of the world and their capitals
States in America and their capitals
Football teams, nicknames and stadiums
All the Pokemon
James Bond films, villains, everything

Yeah, pretty geeky.

I've still got a good hold on birthdays, email addresses, countries&capitals, American states.

On the upside, I think I could now name all the presidents (might fail on correct order).

I have looked up and down that list of capitals.. but I could not find the name of good, dear Vienna, Wien, die Stadt unserer Traueme; please tell me that it is there, and that I was searching too quickly.

The Very Weird of me...
Name all the Elements, most of its isotopes, melting & freezing points, atomic structures including the irregulars, and most physical properties... but that's the drill

5000 pieces Jigsaw Puzzle.

Took me 7 months to make when I was 18. I had to make a custom table for it and a second 'partial assembly table'

It now adorns our company headquarters

Even after so many years sexy girls that come to our company, in voices filled with lust, ask what undeniably sexy beast made that jigsaw puzzle...

...well no they don't

everyone should know that. If they study in school that is.
