I've never gotten much into RPG except once a friend made an online game (called Lords of Lothar LoL best name ever) and I got into that through beta and into general release. It is now deceased because both the brother's jobs changed. One is a VP type at Disneyland and the other is a programmer for the Magic Kingdom. That plus young children and something had to give...
I have an aunt who is a knitting person. She is a specialist on a specific auto loom. Makes patterns and tests stuff all the time.
Reading seems a fairly common thought here. I'm not just real surprised. I've read cereal boxes myself :)
