The geekiest answers:
1) Faded
2) The beater
3) Sure
4) Hydroxyl
5) people stare
6) Girls of the Internet
7) Don't relate at all
8) router/Korg/etc
9) 0
10) Girls of the Internet (I'd dispute this)

Music: All music except Britney and N'Sync is geeky.

Cereal: Dinner
Pizza: Breakfast
Britney: Boobies!

To reach true nerdhood, you must first use "Yes Please" and then pick "Male". "Male" alone gets you 98%, "Yes, Please" then "Boy" gets you 92%, "Boy" gets you 97%. The female/girl version is a carbon copy of the male/boy.

all kinds of documentation on what was found when king tutankhamuns tomb was opened. some pics as well as scans of howard carters notes. theres a list of stuff that will be online eventually, including maps and sketches. fascinating stuff.

I got 32% geek. I lost a lot of points on the music (several artists were there that I like or don't mind, but I've never bought their albums), my dietary structure (If there was a "both dinner and breakfast" option for pizza, I'd have picked it), and for knowing Richard from Survivor and Ozzy as reality TV guys.

Nic Name · 08-22-2002, 04:33 PM

You are 29% geek

You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.

You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!

Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!

You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

Very nice flash website explains the insanity of it all.

Hey Syc, I bet you'd look pretty snazzy in a Let's Roll T-shirt!
