I kinda liked this one.

Pick an interest from my interests list that you know nothing about or don't know what it is - and ask me about it!!!

Feel free to post it in your journal. ;)

Yay!! Something to do.

Epidemiology - the study of diseases and how they spread pretty much.
Ethology - the study of animal behaviour.
Meterology - the study of weather patterns.
Microbiology - the study of microscopic organisms (viruses, bacteria, unicellular eukaryotes etc.) - now you want to know what a eukaryote is don't you?
Taxonomy - this one tends to have various specific meanings. For me it's pretty much classifying organisms. Instead of being with bears the koala belongs with marsupials. The giant and red pandas may be more closely related to racoons than bears but more research needs to be carried out. There's all these schools of thought about how organisms should be classified and it just ties my head in knots.

Actually, I know what meteorology and microbiology are, I was just subtly pointing out they're misspelled on your list. ;)

Taxonomy does mean what I thought it did... in my degree it's all about Bloom's Taxonomy (http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/bloom.html is a good overview)

Doh.

teehee...

The tragic thing is that there were others with the same misspellings.

btw, when you say ryan got through, do you mean all the way through, or just the secondary auditions? I vowed I wasn't gonna watch idol 2, but now i'm gonna have to...

It seems he's gotten to the stage where he goes before the 3 judges. Then there's like 4 rooms of contestants and one or two rooms get eliminated.

He'll probably be on TV.
