While my knowledge might not be that of an expert, I do know quite a bit about:
-Theater (Broadway)
-Shakespeare
-Greek Mythology (some history as well)
-The Victorian Era
-Piracy in its Golden Age
-The Tudors (British royals) and their history
- Other random myths
And that's pretty much everything I could think of. Mostly history, so I suppose my knowledge is mainly useful to those writing historical fiction.

I don't know about goshi (or if that word even exists) but there's a word koshi that means 'waist'. Hope I helped.  |

sure
Google
and yes i am aware physical actions are results of psychological thought, but the study of the psyche can be done through observations of physical behavior. |

Ok, I want to write a story about this guy who gets thrown by a cranky and fidgety mare as they're crossing a river and finishes up half-drowned, with his guts full of mud and yabbies. He gets mad at the horse. So what's the cure for Queensland Itch?

there's no 'cure' but there are creams and sprays to stop itching, usally to try to prevent it, it's coused by biting midges (fly things lol) so you keep them in at dusk when the midges are mostly out, also spray fly repallant on them |
