Well, I heard from somebody that the guy's deal is he's Mormon. When he was a kid, he used to eat dinner with his family every night around the table, and they'd all talk about trivia and things they knew and the news, etc... so the guy's like a walking encyclopedia from his childhood, because his parents taught him @ the dinner table to be inquisitive and never stop learning. Interesting.

Interesting story. But even if he has been reading encyclopedias and stuff since he was young, the guy must have crazy memory to be able to store all that stuff. Then there's also stuff that he answers that's more recent, I think he was answering questions about some awards show.
Trauma-san:
^ Yeah; but my point is, his parents as a child taught him to read and talk with people about tons of different things, in many different subjects, so of course he grew up with that kind of an attitude, and has been studying things his whole life, because of how his parents treated him @ the dinner table. Not every parent sits down with their kid every evening and talks to him about the world.
