Being a student of science, I am very interested in anything that has to do with science. I am particularly fascinated by weird science. In the following article, I will be exploring topics related to this science, as well as some other interesting fields.

The Predictive and Unpredictable Arts
Someone very wise once said, "If it isn't science, it's magic". The predictive arts are not magic, but they are not exact science either.

Food for Thought: How many predictions in your daily horoscope have come true?
Fun Fact: There's actually a Skeptic Encyclopedia of Pseudosciences.

Intriguing Animal Topics
All the essay writing topics given above are really interesting topics to write about, but interesting is a relative term. What may be interesting to one person may not be interesting to another. As an author, I find topics related to animals very interesting. The comparison of the crazy human behavior to normal animal behavior, the comparison of normal human behavior to crazy animal behavior, is quite intriguing, to say the least.

Well, writing interesting things about relationships should be easy enough. Food for Thought: What do women want in a relationship?

End of the World: Doomsday prophesies are abound. The Mayan calender has predicted the end of the world in 2012. Nostradamus, a famous French astrologer, has also predicted the end of the world through his prophesies. As an astute student of science, I'd like to believe that these prophesies are nothing but calculated guesses at the most. Food for Thought: If the world is really going to end, what would you be doing right now?
Fun Fact: The world still exists!

So, let's not worry about whether the world is going to end or not. Chances are it's not. And even if it is, sooner or later, there's nothing we are going to be able to do about it. So, why worry? In fact, it's all the more reason to focus on writing something interesting before we die!
