infomaniac

not to be confused with a nymphomaniac, an infomaniac is a person who thrives and exists based on his knowledge of facts (usually useless ones), much like a nymphomaniac relies on sex.
the symptoms of infomaniacy are obvious: a person who gathers information about anything in a very broad spectrum and without focus and has the need to share said information with all his surroundings.

John: "Did you hear that today in the news there was this article about the new research of the migration patterns of the extinct arctic snail that lived 400,000 years ago on a diet of microscopic alge and plankton and..."

Mia: Interrupting "You are such an infomaniac...."
