Need some help choosing a topic

[~Nudge~]

Hey Guys

I have to do a research paper on any topic. Its great that I can choose...but theres so much to choose from!

Has anyone got any good topics/ideas. Its only a 2500 word paper plus a 10 min presentation to the class - so i want something that wont send people to sleep.

Theres no real point to the paper, its purpose is to educate the class on whatever topic, so i dont have to argue a point or recommend anything - which seems pointless...but anyway.

So suggestions would be helpful - I have to choose something today as Ive only got 4 weeks left until my presentation.
