| 481437 | 2006-08-31 02:54:00 | BTW this thread is supposed to be about geek factors, not geeks. :rolleyes:So? Geeks, being geeks, have the geek factor. By telling him about geeks, he can get more of an idea on what the geek factor is ;) | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 481438 | 2006-08-31 04:11:00 | My interpretation of geek factor is some geekish object that you have that other geeks admire, are envious of and desire. The ultimate geek factor would be something that no geek can be seen without. :cool: Under that interpretation, I consider that FoxyMX herself would have geek factor ... |

| 481440 | 2006-08-31 06:53:00 | Took the test and I appear to be 36% geek. That maybe good or not as the case may be! I was hoping to get 100% Bugger! And I'm allowed to say that as I own a Toyota. :-) |

Cheers :) People who have never known a geek might attribute geek factor to the coke bottle glasses, but geek factor is attributed by geeks - not people who have never took any notice of geek culture. The computer has geek factor (geek appeal) because geeks admire and respect it, but the glasses are inconciquential to most geeks. |

| 481443 | 2006-09-05 08:25:00 | You are 10% geek OK, so maybe you ain't a geek . You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you . Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test . Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae . God, I hate you . Great I don't want to be classed as a geek, even though the guys at work say that i am a Tech Geek:p :D :thumbs: . |

| 481445 | 2006-09-05 16:02:00 | mejoblogs: "............because I would rather have a 1.8ghz conroe than a 3ghz p4" AHA!...That alone indicates a geeky-ness in that you know the difference! |

| 481446 | 2006-09-06 01:26:00 | I thought I had read an article on this subject in my subscription to the Smithsonian magazine . . . . . I googled one of the lines and here it is: . smithsonianmagazine . com/issues/2005/september/lastpage . php" target="_blank">www . smithsonianmagazine . com (I really recommend it to everyone to read ~ really!);) Funny enough, it seems to carry ads for a NZ URL . . . strange, wot? |
