Matrix brain training

We've all got that thing that we say it would be great to learn whether it's Excel related or just about anything. Me, I think I should spend more time learning about some of the really funky formula I see, regular expressions and using arrays more in VBA, I would also really like to be able to fly a light aircraft but I do little or nothing about it. So while I was watching The Matrix Reloaded (again) the other night it crossed my mind it would be great to get an instant upload of knowledge or skills and avoid all the effort of learning.

Bearing that in mind what would be your Excel and non-Excel related brain injection topics (one of each)?
