    Oh, whilst I was looking for images on the net for this article, I can across a site called Lesbian Gamers, where they have a male version, for videogame characters with big dongers.

    So for any females or lesbians out there, or even some men I suppose:

    http://lesbiangamers.com/

    Click on Articles and then scroll down to find it.

    I'd say i am probably the electronic/gadget geek... But also maybe the jedi geek as starwars is easily the best saga ever.

    Be nice to geeks when you're in school, you might end-up working for one when you grow-up.

    Re: Headlines - The great Geek vs Nerd debate

    Someone said that the other day.

    There exact words, to someone that was trying to push me around a little, "Don't do that [name]! Can't you see that in 10 years time, when you go to get your job at Mcdonalds, he's going to own the place?"

    It was amusing... and certainly highlighted one of the more intelligent people I know.

    Although I don't particulary want to own macdonalds. Greasy place...



    Geek be a compliment to me, so anyone calling me a nerd/boff gets raipdly corrected. They haven't worked out that Geek IS a compliment though. They think I'm using being pedantic. As usual.

    So if you're a nerd you're being absurd, but if you're a geek you're gone in a week?
