Poll question: Are You A Geek?
Answer the following questions.

1. I built a computer from spare parts
2. I lived at home past the age of eighteen
3. I’ve read “The Lord of the Rings” more than once
4. I use the word “interface” in casual conversation
5. I own more than one calculator
6. I have my own website
7. I watch “Andromeda”
8. I have (or have had) a Frank Frazetta calendar
9. I beat my computer chess game on a regular basis
10. My uncorrected vision is worse than 20/400


Results Key:
0-1 You’re “James Dean” cool.
2-4 Geeky, but nothing that a weekend or two in Tiajuana couldn’t cure
5-6 It’s not your imagination; people really do laugh at you behind your back
7-8 Less than 20% chance of getting laid on any given weekend
9-10 Remember the nerdy kid from “The Wonder Years”? Yeah, he can kick your ass.

1. Nope, but I can translate Geek to English
I'm a little fuzzy on English to Geek but I can obfuscate well enough to fool anybody.

4. -4.25 is equivalent to 20/what?
If worse than 20/400, I'm a 5. If not, a 4.
