The quest for knowledge

I have had more and more free time recently (even while at work) to let my mind wander to the "What, why, who, where, when, how" questions. The questions, I suspect and hope, we all dwell on time to time but never really take the time or effort to answer.

Of course some are unanswerable, some you can piece things together to guess at and some we have solid indisputable evidence to prove or disprove.

This blog will turn its attention to this for the next 26 posts. An adult version of an A-Z of the world, there will be no "A" is for apple here. I aim for a post to be made hopefully fortnightly starting from the beginning of August.

Granted as I am far from an noted academic most of my sources are going to be online-based and I am going to have to rely on my memory probably slightly too much to make this comfortable reading but I feel ready to set off on this quest for knowledge anyway.

I hope to shed a light on subjects ranging from animals, currency, food, music to technology and we will see at the end whether we are enlightened or we have wasted precious moments yearning for knowledge that no-one gives a toss if we know or not.

As highlighted above any corrections/adaptations/additions etc are welcomed and encouraged as I do set off on this quest horribly unarmed and viciously unprepared for what I may stumble across but in the hope it will help me improve myself mentally and physically.
