Poll: What are you oddly facinated by?

This was inspired by a post over on Relationships

http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/53545046.aspx

 So what things are you oddly fascinated by?

Re: Poll: What are you oddly facinated by?

  • Serial killers- I like researching them and know what made them go crazy

    Polygamy- more the genre of "Big Love" and "Sister Wives" not the people in communes. I just think the relationships between the wives and kids is interesting and appealing to have a friend that close but I still do not get the whole sharing a husband thing

    I heart Ben!!

  • Water treatment plants, sewage systems even though I am pretty scared by plumbing go figure

    Certain types of factories or plants (nuclear power plants).

    ETA: Ditto MrsB with the paranormal activity mostly a non believe unless I am home alone for a night. LOL

  • The Mafia

    People from Jersey (in relation to RHONJ and Jersey Shore)

    Little people (midgets)

    TTC since April 2009 ~ Unexplained IF 3 IUI's later....EDD 6.28.12 BabyFruit Ticker
  • Serial Killers (I would love to know what made them snap and start killing people).

    Paranormal activities-I don't know whether I believe in them or not, but still interesting

    Bermuda Triangle (see above)

    Unsolved mysteries- I used to love the show, whether its a crime, missing person, other unknown thing like bermuda triangle or UFO's.

    Ear wax removal... this is a weird weird thing, I have been officially banned from doing DH's ears, however, I normally point it out for him to get it.  It becomes a compulsion when I see it I need to get it.  I have bit my tough many times if it see ear was in someones ear in public. 

     

     

  • Bermuda Triangle facinates me too Wendy.

    Fertility treatments- I am amazed with all of it and how doctors can help a couple with issue have healthy babies. Tania this is why I love your vlogs.

    Stacey my grandfather's best friend was in federal jail for most of my life for racketeering.

    • The mafia.
    • Top secret military stuff.
    • Animal thought processes (why does my cat insist on opening every shut door in the house??)
    • The concept of "forever" - I mean, no end. Can you IMAGINE something never, ever, ever, EVER ending. Ever. Never.
    • The fact that we're one small little speck in the universe, floating among galaxies that we have no knowledge of.

    OK, i'm going to stop now.

    I agree with these and the paranormal activity and all related thing (chakras, auras, tarot, psychics etc).

    Factories and how things are made.  I will never get tired of that.

    I like Dana's mention of how this board seems to get pregnant and the genders of the LOs in pairs.

  • Awww, thanks Dana!  I love being able to educate people.

    I'm fascinated by so many things. 

    Polygamy

    Afterlife (and how every religion has a different take on it and nobody knows who is right)

    Addicts

    Airplanes.  Those things are thousands of pounds and they fly, in the sky, and don't (usually) fall out of it.  Unreal!

    I should add both of these to my list.  And thought of more...

    Mental illness and how it manifests itself is people differently

    Also religious fanatics of any religion. 

    lately the extreme couponers.  What what are they going to do with all of that stuff they get super cheap? What is someone going to do with 60 hot sauces?

  • SVU cases, those stories suck me in and creep me out at the same time

    serial killers

    anything to do with genetics

  • Dinosaurs and the possibility of recreating dinosaurs. I watch tons of shows on dino mummies and DNA retrieval.

    Bacteria and viruses, especially drug resistant strains. Oh and prions (the infectious proteins that cause mad cow) - it fascinates me the medical community knows next to nothing about them

    Forensics and the info that can be determined from a dead body.

    And I never would have thought of it, but serial killers - I watch a lot of shows on them, too

  • Serial Killers, mass production, top secret CIA stuff (we watched a show called killing Bin Laden the other night and I was amazed), the solar system/universe-I like to think about how in some other system there could be a planet just like Earth with people like us talking about if there is life somewhere else, how airports work, technology for rides, the presidents(yes I had them all bookmarked in our encyclopedia set), I love nature shows, is that too much??

  • i was oddly fascinated by the craigslist killer for while after watching the lifetime movie. LOL

    i don't know. i'm a total people person and extremely outgoing but i am oddly fascinated with being alone.  i like to do tons of things, but i really enjoy being alone.  

    now that i think about it, i think that could be a symptom of depression. oops...
