GQ- What are you an expert in?

…and yet most of the -ologists get to answer one GQ question a year, and you probably get to answer 15. :smiley:

My favorite thing about the boards in general are the GQ threads where some incredibly unusual question is answered by some lurker who decloaks just for that one thread.

“How effective were the QF guns on Royal Navy Tribal-class destroyers?”
“Well, we only lost one engagement during WWII, and that was to a heavily armored German experimental cruiser design.”
“How do you know?”
“I was Captain of the HMS Punjabi until her sinking after a collision.”

Coming up with snarky answers a minute too late.

“If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can’t be done.”

I’ve been an amateur paleontologist since I was 4.

I coulda, woulda, shoulda gone straight into grad school after graduating from college. But I was burnt out on school. I think I probably would have been able to keep up in academia. So that’s a whole other life that I should have had.

Now I’m depressed.

Ph.D. in virology, molecular a specialty. ask me about this ridiculous flu “pandemic”. Also STDs, don’t ask how i got roped into doing that, but am on national committee for Chlamydia guidelines, treatment/management

Credit reporting, nutrition/fitness, woodworking. And it has never come up, but nitromethane-powered remote controlled cars and trucks (especially the 2-stroke engines).
