> Weirdly "In-N-Out Burger" is also listed, despite the fact they don't exist where I live (UK). Heh, how strange. Me too. As well as Filipino politics, some American Football teams and someone called Rupert Neve. Also my food and drink interests include "Beef".
Founder of Neve Electronics, famous for inventing the modern sound mixing desk. You're in good company there.

Thanks NYT for pointing me to this hilarious section of Facebook. My hobbies apparently include 'tears', and my only food and drink interest is 'bread roll'.
