Influmania 

The time of year when the entire country's topic of conversation is about how we're all going to die from the latest flu strain.

Dude 1: OMG, did you hear about the "Fish Flu"?
Dude 2: Yeah bro, I hear it makes you weak and all you do is lay on your side and flap up and down until you stop breathing. I'm going for flu shot.

Dude 1: Influmania has struck again!

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...."

infomania

a state that you can get into if have been looking for sesquipedalian and/or esoteric words on the internet or reading trivia books. You're in the "zone" & you would be just fine playing 'Jeopardy' or 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'.

I spent all day looking up strange words on Wikipedia, when, all of a sudden I had a revelation and got infomania, I sounded like a walking Library of Congress.

infomaniac 

Someone who showers you with useless information which you never asked for...

'The guy's such an infomaniac ! I just asked him for the train times, and he told me how many wheels each engine would have...'

'Darling, I said infomaniac not nymphomaniac...I don't want to hear all your day's office gossip straight after sex, puh-leaze..'

'Jeez, get me away from that infomaniac ... who wants to hear her business gossip at a chick party ?'
