Anybody have a thirst for knowledge?

[Trunks]

I hear people talk about this 'thirst' all the time. Like in films, book and general life. I suppose to a certain extent I do have one. I like to know how things work and I always read the backstory of games and such.

A good example would be when I was watching Heroes and I read the online web comics to fill in gaps. I just like to know what's going on. In everyday life I also read up alot on English language. I don't study it anymore but I really feel a need to know, particulaly if a gap in my knowledge comes to my attention. I also like to know new words, even if I never use them. Just so I know the meaning I guess.

Anybody else have the 'thirst'?

I suppose it doesn't have to be academic, just a need to know. Like in Dragon Age- I read all the damned codex's even though they were mind-numbingly boring.
