1. Do you prefer being a
specialist - knowing a lot about a few things or a
generalist - knowing a little about a lot of things?
2. What areas are you biggest "gaps" in knowledge?
3. What is the most useless knowledge you have?

1. Generalist with a few special knowledge
2. Too many to write down... 
3. A lot of things, especially things I saw past 10 months in one particular message board on the internet.... 
@Mr Sleep: By aquiring the knowledge, were you relieved, or shocked to near death?

| 1. Hmm... I'm not either of those. I know nothing about a lot of things. Why didn't you put that choice up ?
2. Everything which is related to math and everything which is not related to math. Get the poin, no?
3. No such thing as usless knowlage. Every knowlage is useful .
