Hello.

My interests include the natural sciences (paleontology, evolution, genetics), Greek mythology (particularly the Trojan War and related events), music (especially blues and industrial), and literature. I have a degree in zoology and work as a researcher for a medical college.

However, most of my edits/contributions tend to be related to music and the general cleaning up of poor word usage and typos. I don't seem edit as much as I used to due to time constraints and a general lack of interest, though I do occasionally still pick "fights" with other wikipedians that quite obviously don't know what they are talking about.

See my contributions here. Peace.

[edit] Things Wikipedians have told me that still make no sense to me

Stating that Deepak Chopra's supposedly "unaswerable questions" raised by the theory of evolution actually have valid scientific explanations violates the NPOV policy.
True KMFDM fans don't like KMFDM (that is, post-1999 KMFDM).
Delta blues is not as popular today as it was during the Great Depression because it has been replaced by rap.
Regarding the subject of self-harm and whether or not Vincent van Gogh was a self-harmer, the Daily Star and johnnydeppfan.com are reputable sources, but the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology is not. Referencing this peer reviewed science journal violates the "no original research" policy.
This version of the article on Tim Skold is better written than this one (see my talk page).
Harry Belafonte and Michael Moore are not anti-Iraq War activists.
One can consider it ironic that actor Michael J. Fox, in spite of having portrayed a teenage Republican on Family Ties, supported Democrat John Kerry in his 2004 presidential campaign (is it unusual for an actor to not share the same personality traits as the character he portrays?). The same discussion, strangely, involved the assumption that laboratory mice have little importance in the area of human stem cell research. [1]

[edit] Pop Culture References

Wait, don't tell me--something to do with Family Guy, right? Seriously folks, this business of mentioning Family Guy in every freakin' article is getting out of hand.

This could probably extend to South Park and the Simpsons as well.
