    How do you show off your geek?


    My boss likes telling this to me. Typically when he catches me in the Tech forums :rolleyes: even though half the time Im fixing his computers.

    Anywho, I don't think thats geeky.

    I think its Geeky when you find a 11 mile stretch of runway-straight road North of Mount Pleasant thats beautifully paved, has zero traffic and no cops... and you mark it in your GPS as The Kessel Run.
    I got to 110mph \o/

    I often show my geek, but in a science way as opposed to a computer way.

    A true nerd know that George Lucas thought parsec was a unit of time when he first mentioned it in Star Wars but when subequently pointed out that it was a unit of distance he chose to make up some bullshít explaination about 'expert navigators plotting shortest routes' instead of just admitting that he'd made a mistake.

    I usually show mine through computers, even though I don't know much about them. People think I'm geeky after I install software for them :pac:

    Also I love maths (it was my favourite subject in school).
