What totally cracked me up was I was a huge theater "geek" but not a theater techie or choir person...so that lowered my score.
Loved this too....know more people online than in real life

Texannie--that last one you mentioned is one I had to check. All because of TVCH. I don't consider it a bad thing either--lol.

Hippyt--I get called a dork a lot too.

Okay...done. First off- can anyone tell me how to count to 31 on one hand? I'm curious. Second- why am I more of a geek just cause I'm a girl? I don't collect anything and I didn't check anything for what I wear, but the games did me in.

I am 15.77909% - Geek

I guess I need to learn to program :)

What you need to learn, is binary. :)

Here is a sequence counting from 0 to 31:

0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001
1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 10000 10001 10010
10011 10100 10101 10110 10111 11000 11001 11010
11011 11100 11101 11110 11111

As you can see, the last item '11111' is 5 digits long and happens to represent 31 in binary. So you can count though the whole sequence using the five fingers on a hand.

Ummmm....I guess I still don't get it. How would that be any different than counting normal (1,2,3...) and just going back and forth?

Forget it. I don't think I wanna know. Besides, I can count waaaay past 31 without using my fingers.

And why is Trivial Pursuit geeky? I love T.P.!!! Granted, my mom caught me "studying" the cards when I was in 8th grade. It's called being inquisitive!

Yes, I love the Weather Channel (hate the music during Local on the 8s though).

8.28 poser.
guess i'm either not a geek---had no idea what/who half the questions were about-- or a total geek for not knowing what/who the questions were about!
i think i am not1's long lost mama. i only got a few points due to playing board games and having dictionaries around the house!

I thought my score would be lower. The only reason it was that high is because my son made me take him twice to the first two LOTR's movies and I could name 5 Hobbits.

i thought a hobbit was what nuns used to wear. i think i got an 8.28 because someone once dragged me to 'rocky horror picture show' at midnight in berkeley :)

where we saw lots of geeks!

Kaili, I used to study T.P. cards too! I've always been SO competitive at that game.....

and i love trivial pursuit, too. so my 'next to nothing geekiness' is combined of one rocky horrow viewing, several games of TP, and some board game loves such as scrabble...where my 2 sets of dictionaries come in handy!

11.83432% - Geekish Tendencies. But only because I have to be a geek for what I do. If I didn't have to, I wouldn't be one! Nyah nyah! <wink>

Jed, we all already knew you are a geek. :-)

Ummm....Jed.....are you into the SCA? You get tons of geek points for that. I'm not, the only reason I even know what it stands for without looking it up is that I got a woman to come in when I was student teaching to talk to the world history kids about weapons and to do a semonstration.
