A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

I meant he's geek - not because no-one gets the joke - but because it's a really weak 'joke'.

Lol. Speaking of geeks. We watched Big Bang Theory last night (we have the first series) and it was the one where Penny gets three strikes from Sheldon and they play Klingon Boggle :D Now if you know the episode you will also know that the next one is the Star Trek episode with the Rock - Paper -Scissors - Lizard - Spock game. If you know this - you are indeed a geek.

When you deliberately write code in a way to make it hard to understand. Cuz when it was difficult to write it should be difficult to read :P

That's not being a geek... That's just being slow (or blonde) :twisted:

*phew!* Am I glad I am normal... :twisted:

So it should hold true to say, "You know you're a geek when other geeks call you normal"? :lol:

Well.. I'm a geek, I think, so here's a few of mine..

* when you call the apple that you are about to eat 'Mac'.
* when you can programmatically think out the process for how a machine/appliance works.
* when you can see how they do special effects in a movie and plan to see how you could do it in a Java Applet / Flash.
* when you start dreaming about a Starcraft 2 battle and it feels real.
* when you go to a pcf meet and only know the people by their pcf names.
* when you think of doing something relaxing you think of spamming pcf threads (not that I spam at all.. lol).
* when you get an XBOX controller for your PC just to play Prince of Persia and Assasins Creed.
* when using your mouse to navigate through your pc takes longer then you using your keyboard.
* when you want to write so many more geeky things and know that you'll probably take up the whole page.

:lol:

@HuNtingGoof: If what you say is true, then I am a geek. A Greek one, I guess... but a geek nonetheless. :lol:
