It probably could've been anything.
It's not so much about Ghostbusters as it is about having something to keep you busy.
It's pretty cool to know and collect everything about whatever.
Maybe it's Ghostbusters because he saw it at the movies when he was a kid and back then it truly blew his mind.
If he had seen Star Wars that day he would've been into Star Wars.
I get it though, it's the fun of collecting and the joy when you find a new rare item that you can add to your collection.
People do it with Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter, so why not Ghostbusters?
An ex-coworker collected crane models, I collect music and film (although I collect a lot less than I used to).
Being a deadbeat probably has nothing to do with it.

Dunno, ask the brother.
In the twin paradox does the returning twin also come back permanently length contracted flatter than the twin on Earth?
No, but his grammar does get scrambled by his exposure to cosmic radiation.
Is it unusual that English uses possessive for past tense?
No, but it is usual for people who ask such specific questions about a language to be able to speak the language in question.

Someone told him and he retained the information.

It might provide job security for the charlatan that wrote it.

It rather depends on the quantities involved and what you mix with it.

Alaska, maybe. Rhode Island, probably not. But it really does rather depend on the number and power of the nukes involved, where they're targeted and prevailing weather conditions amongst other things. Do try to be more specific with your hypothetical clap-trap!
Why is technology bad for children?
Because it exposes them to questions like these!

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

umm, if you TAKE the stairs how are people supposed to escape when fire breaks out?
BTW: so yes, taking the stairs better for the environment - less people doing damage to it.

On that note, imagine people taking the motorways and bridges. That would have a larger impact, methinks.
Dude: I'm taking the M1 and may be the anzac bridge on the way to the CBD.
Me: Noooooo.

So I ordered The Avengers: Infinity War, among with some other products.
I got everything except The Avengers.
So I start a chat with the helpdesk.
I first have to confirm the item I have a question about only for them to ask me again what order and item I have a question about 
Anyway, the description says it's Avengers: Infinity Way 3D, the price is that of the DVD, but I'm pretty sure I ordered the regular blu-ray (which is €1 more expensive than the DVD and about €20 less expensive than the 3D).
Tell that to the helpdesk guy, who promptly asks me what product I'm talking about.
Oh, I don't know, maybe the one that says it's Avengers: Infinity War 3D
So he asks me if I want my money back or if he should send it again.
So I ask him what he's going to send.
And he says the item I ordered.
Bitch what the hell did I order!?
The (regular?) blu-ray, apparently 
I guess I should be happy that I got any help from a helpdesk at all, but I really wonder what I'll get

A TV programme (on CBeebies channel) that my 2-year old grandson likes to watch. You can probably receive it over there.

Maybe, but I usually don't watch TV shows for 2-year olds

It's better than a number of shows I could name that are aimed at adults.

I can actually really enjoy kid shows.
Recently watched Steven Universe season 1 on Netflix and I really enjoyed it.
Adventure Time was really fun as well.
It's just 10-20 minutes of nonsense that leave you thinking "haha, you guys!" 
Not to mention a lot of Disney and Ghibli movies!

As long as you don't take that as a rule.
Remember Teletubbies?

Fortunately not. My kids were grown up by then so I never saw it.
