You are 70% geeky.

Not bad. Maybe you spend a little too much time with your computer, but at least you have friends. You do have friends, right?

37.5%

OK, not that geeky at all, are you? I'll bet you even have a girlfriend (or boyfriend).

The current average score is: 35.98%

But.....Pauls is even better:-


82.5% ( :eek: ) (bet you're jealous now girls :lol: )

You're the ultimate geek. I'd write that in Klingon, but you'd probably correct my grammar. Get a girlfriend. ( :evil: )

The current average score is: 35.99%

Fact: 25.43% of people who took this test believe in The Force. (He said yes to that one too! Well, he had to as he was registered as a Jedi on the last census :lol:

I think that I scored lower as I have no idea about computer stuff (and he does!)

Thanks D - that gave both of us a good laugh

Yep - looks like I could be married to the geekiest :lol: Still, I take true comfort in that article ;D

I think that we may very well have a Klingon dictionary somewhere (he bought it at the request of one of the kids he was teaching at the time - honest :eek: I'm sure he doesn't actually speak it).......

.........he says only enough to order a coffee and a batleth ( :eek: )

Honestly - he's an excellent provider and treats me really well :oops:

(.......and he likes tsom ;D )

And my second computer runs Fedora Core 3.

Delilah sent me a text from Norway today, which I managed to open and respond to. :P

Ok, no, that doesn't make me a geek. :roll:

Unless you're over a certain age. Then it does. :innocent: :wink:

You krazee kids and your whot-not, blackberry, blueberry pies type thing. :?

That's appalling. I should 50% for running gentoo [and liking it] and an extra 5% for every programming language that I can use :(

Not sure if this was aimed at me Libby. :?

If not, hey it's more exposure. :P

Having read your post in size 12, I think you're both completely barking mad. In a mad, cool way, with 'stuff'. 8)

Most of which seems to be wooden or metal. And sharp. :eek:

20% geeky. But I've booked tickets to see War of the Worlds already. So does that count for anything?

...probably because I'm seriously impaired when it comes to math. :oops: Imagine if I weren't - how geeky I'd be then!!! :eek: Boggles the mind, truly. :twisted: :roll: :von:

Ok - so it would appear that I am living with the geekiest of the geeks :lol:

@Obviousman - no, didn't get him the coffee - he was on Stella by that time of night :lol: (not very Klingon - should have been blood wine shouldn't it :innocent: ) (and he already has a batleth ......no.....really.....he does :eek: bought at Tynemouth market, from a very nice woman who also had a large stock of Lord of the Rings swords :eek: )

*note to self* - stop typing because now they know how geeky we are :lol:

Stupid question of the night:
What on earth (or in outer space) is a batleth :?:

Meanwhile: They're giving away free ben & jerry's right in front of my door, run y'all! :lol:

Sorry - probably not spelt correctly (maybe I should have looked it up in the Klingon dictionary :lol: ) - its the large double handed weapon the Klingons use

:urff: this is getting more and more geeky

:lol:

(honestly - neither of us are as nerdy as I am making us sound - honest :lol: )
