Some folks get deep into D&D and build encyclopedic knowledge on estoric spell combos, some delve deep into trains, and some memorize how many lifetime touchdowns Joe Namath has. Dumb, but I understand it.

    Its that reason why I say everyone is a nerd about something.

    Yah, you may be talking to the former school jock/football star who was barely handed their diploma, but ask them about their sport/the industries around it. You will likely get a better lesson on statistics and managment that you can get out of most text books. (Assuming you can keep the conversation focused)

    People usually like talking about their interests.
