I think the fact that I was able to become a Major Geek by the age of 16 should be recognised :)

In the mean time i'm going to learn C++, Java and Klingon.

Oh and could someone tell me what the Star Trek film even/odd rule is?

CatSuit&Ponytail

06-13-2003, 09:34 AM

Just because I know the rule doesn't mean I believe it.

"Every odd numbered Star Trek film sucks, and every even numbered one rocks."

Raven25

Actually, I'm surprised that I didn't score higher, considering that I just ordered this (http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/watches/594f/) 2 weeks ago. My score would've probably been through the roof though if I was into Star Trek, but I'm loyal to the force.

Beware Aquarias; there is many a geek who scoff at your membership of this geek-filled forum. I would stay low and take on a new identity. Make it something that relates to Star Trek, and act like a Vulcan for a while. Then, I suggest you watch nothing that has to do with Soap Operas or Real Life, period.

Well, it looks like you haven't been paying any attention in this test. Just being a Star Trek fan only results in 3.74753% - Poser.

Anyway, I believe that some of the Geeks in this thread have more of a real life than a lot of normal people I know or have heard of. Have a beer on that, dude.

That's quite alright........I'd prefer to keep my life the way it is right now. :p You know, the one where you actually get out and do things. ;) :p lol Oooo! Look at my nice tan! LMAO! ;)

[edit]I re-took the quiz, and answered how my life has been in the past 3 years. Before, it was life overall. You don't even want to know what I got for the percent for the past 3 years. ;)

How about "watching the rule base load" or
"scrutinizing (sp?) the firewall logs and error messages while devouring the morning caffeine based breakfast" or
"not being able to sleep without knowing how the net's doing" or
"could change address to forums.eidosgames.com"

Its fascinating. Watching all the little bits change colours and join together.

I love it :)

I got some suggestions as well though:

Run adware and spyware tracking programs twice daily
- because you think you are being watched
- because you know you are being watched

I have an excellant tan because I get loads of UV from my monitor

I might have scored higher, but the test neglected to ask me if I owned a gyroscope. (Whch I do)
It didn't ask me if I owned an hourglass. (Whch I do)
It didn't ask if I used dial-up or cable. (Which it really should have)
I also own a Ouija Board mouse pad,
a cow statue in a NASA space suit.
and a lithographic poster of a LANDSAT sattelite photo of the Finger Lakes
Region of New York State which I just shelled out a hundred and sixty bucks to get framed.

I fulfill both suggestions. Do I a higher placing on the Leader Board??? :p

An example would be waiting around for TS2 to be released. Didn't see a single ad around here, but I (of course) knew the release date. Spent over two weeks pawing at the doors of all the local and Capital distributors looking for it. They just gave me a strange look as if they didn't know what I was on about. :eek: "Hello??? The best game of the century is out, and you don't have it in stock!?!?!?!" Ay, Caramba!

I finally found it in Oslo.. WooHoo! :D The shrink wrap didn't survive the trip home, it was off in a split second. Mine, all mine! My preciousssss.. :p

Ah, haven't looked back since. *sniff* ;)
