I wonder what sorts of adventures she had to go on to improve her ability to operate a vacuum cleaner...
I set the dividing line for Knowledge skills at intellectual vs. practical action. Examples:-Roll Streetwise to determine where to locate a Black Sun contact, but you still need to use Bargain or Persuasion to get what you need from him.
-Roll Tactics to determine the best orders to give your troops, but you still need to roll Command to pass on those orders.
-Roll Scholar: Structural Engineering to determine the best place to put explosive charges, but you still have to roll Demolitions to successfully place the charges.

But you also have skills such as Performance-singing, and Profession under knowledge.

I'm assuming Performance and Perception are extra-RAW skills incorporated into stats somewhere in the EU? I'm not prepared to take their word for it. Performance is too broad a category to be lumped under a single attribute; it should be split up by the type of performance, such as putting Dance in Dexterity, or Acting in Perception, or Sculpting in Technical.

I initially thought they were RAW skills, put into either the heroes and rogues book, or one of the others. BUT even looking in Gry's complete template collection, i see neither. Profession is a skill Sparks has, but i don't see Performance. So i guess they were added in skills our group uses.

No, let's make this get REAL. The adventuerers go to a crappy backwater planet where reality shows are a life and death challenge. This time, the cooking show Chopped puts you in a guillotine if the judges don't like your dish.
The party gets abducted, put on a cooking team, and has to out-cook their way off the show. Or escape.
Actually, that would probably happen in my tongue-in-cheek comedic D6 Fantasy game.
