Researching...for fun! (or boredom)

Some residue from my Jonesy of HBOs Carnivale obsession... I was sitting eating a sandwich not really paying much attention to the radio in the background. They were going on about the possibility that a disgraced US athelete may be allowed to compete in the 2012 London Olympics, a guest came on, some sports guy from Texas who mentioned a baseball steroids scandal a couple years back. I took note of it, but not really being a sports fan (if you don't include a bias towards Arsenal, or the FIFA world cup back in the 90s), aswell as being a lazy arse couch potato, you would have thought I'd had no interest in looking into it. Plus I'm not an American, even more reason not to give a shit. Well, I don't know if it's boredom or what, but a couple of days ago I randomly typed in 'drugs baseball'...voila! A load of articles came up, I start getting some of the gist of the story...and I keep going, and going, and going further into it...I might write some sum up of my 'findings' from a complete outsider pov, may be interesting. Just giving the grey muscle some exercise (my performance enhancers come in the form of a daily dose of Omega oils and my itunes playlists). I'd always enjoyed doing the research more than writing the essay it was for...so
