I am good with such things as:

Overthinking things.
Semi-unaccurate sci-fi things (By far not realistic sci-fi things, but not overly uneralistic).
Furries and making them 'work'.
Wikipedian knowlede and interpretation.
Overthinking furries.
Various other things I cant think of at this hour.

Hope I can help someone!

Well if it's any help to anyone I am doing a masters in computing so know a bit about that (Well you would kinda hope so wouldn't you) and with a bit of luck will be able to talk witha bit of authority about the computer games industry in a few months time as I may be on placement with a computer games company.

Other than that I'm a fairly massive martial art's geek, I've studied Tae kwon do, Hapkido and Aikido before and am currently studying Brazillain ju Jitsu, Judo, Ju Jitsu (The traditional sort) and Mixed Martial Arts.

I'm not an expert in any of these areas (meaning I don't have a PhD in any of them... yet), but I consider myself knowledgeable in:

Philosophy, specially Nietzsche. Which is not to say I don't know anything else (quite the contrary), just that he's the philosopher I know most about;

History, to some extent, specially Brazilian (I am Brazilian, after all);

Brazilian and Portuguese literature, more Brazilian than Portuguese, but I know all the major authors and schools, as well as having read and studied many of the major works in the Portuguese language as part of the school curriculum;

Brazil in general.

Theology, well, some of it anyway;

Psychology, again, some of it (I have been studying Lacan lately);

Chess, including its history and the most well renowned players (e.g. Capablanca, Alekhine, Lasker, Mikhail Tal, Tarrasch, etc.);

A little about Jazz and some Baroque, Classic and Romantic music, and a tiny bit of music theory.

I suppose that's it...

Well, I know a lot about:

Geography - mostly in the United States (and especially the Western U.S.), but generally I know something about nearly everywhere in the world. I know the capital of every country, general geographic features, I've heard of more places than anybody I know, etc.
Climate and Weather - again mostly in the United States. Also general meteorology, the more scientific aspect of it. Hurricanes as well. I track every hurricane season extensively.
Astronomy - Mostly the solar system, stars, and some of the theoretical science.
Space Exploration - This is definitely one of my areas of expertise. I can never wait until we recieve new information from wherever a probe is. Every interplanetary probe.
Technology - At least, how it's developing; what kind of technology is coming the near future mostly, especially technology related to the military and space.
Military history - Mostly World War I and especially World War II and American military history.
American history - I love history and I live in America, so I know a lot about American history, naturally.
Transportation - Not the technical stuff, more the where new freeways and high speed rails are being constructed. Don't know much outside the U.S. though.
Video Games - Probably not much help in writing, but I know about the popular games, the history of video games, etc.

There's a few other things that I really can't think of at the moment that I know a lot about but that I usually can't remember until something triggers that part of my mind...sounds odd, I know. A lot of the time I'll also just browse through Wikipedia and read stuff, and I am really good at retaining information.

However, I don't know how often I'll actually be hanging around this forum, but for when I am here, that's what I specialize in.
