One of my hobbies is making chocolates, and I've been known to order 75lbs (34kg) of chocolate at a time.

When in record shops, people always come up to me asking questions because they think I work there.

I once had a photograph of mine appear in an encyclopaedia, but it was only Encarta, so I'm not sure that counts. I like cycling up mountains, very slowly (I don't like doing it very slowly; I just don't have a choice).

I am best known for a glorious second-place finish on Jeopardy.

I can play foosball like a champ!
