Is there a word or phrase for describing a person who is always curious?
Curiosiac?
Example usage (as requested by a comment):
The boy is such a ___, he asks questions all the time!
UPDATE
I appreciate all your answers, but my question was if there was any word - a noun - to describe a person of that kind, e.g. maniac, lunatic, weirdo, nerd, etc.

This is definitely not a duplicate, but it would be better if it included an example sentence of how you would want to use the word.

Very questioning.
Also, quidnunc

"Insatiable curiosity" is the term I've most often seen used in this sense.
There are nouns such as polymath which refer to people who know about lots of diverse topics, but they don't directly imply an insatiable curiosity.
