I don't think it.I know it.
So? How'd you do?
I don't know if they have moved it from your original link but I found it athttp://www.youtube.com/user/YouTubeUK...
I'm not telling what I got.
Do I have to tickle you til you tell?Thanks for posting the link. I was afraid my link wouldn't work cuz it's off the iPad.
My Geek muscle needs a workout, no surprise there!
I got 158 I got like 3 answers right and apparently I'm a geek
I'll have to do it after we get back ti wifi.Trying to make my data last.
261. Although Bernoulli is pretty much disproved in favour of Newton III when it comes to lift. (but Bernoulli is still the popular - but wrong - answer)
it went by too fast for my old media centre ^_^ only got 161 (got distracted by Felicia Day in her guild outfit >_< never recovered!)
I tried it twice and got 50 something the first time and ninety something the second.
So, in other words, Jim cheated.
I missed the start first time around then got disturbed by the phone. After reading Jim's post tried again(different questions) and scored 203! It said 'The geek is strong in you'.
Strong in you is the geek.Sorry.
Yoda moment.
Patti (Baku Bound) wrote: "So, in other words, Jim cheated."too right. I'm not a geek therefore it's allowed :-)
I'll probably get about three.
I scored 121 and it meant absolutely nothing to me!

For a true Yoda moment that should have read 'strong in you the geek is'
Sorry, but I'm still not saying what i got.
217. How do they score it, and how do you know if you got the answers right?
think it's based on how quick you click and if you get the correct answer ^_^
you're right Darted. only a true geek would know thatbet you got 300
darted? guess i made a pointed remark. hehe
Last night I got into a rather heated discussion about this test. Someone happened to mention they got quite a bad score and someone else was like "well then you aren't a proper geek" which set me off into rant mode about how people shouldn't even judge that.I know it's meant to be fun and it was but damn people should not use this as a way to make others feel bad :(
but! you must ask!Was this person's low score "42"?
If yes then he is the uber-geek and wins the internets!
^__^
Don't think my brain is functioning well enough to attempt this yet.I just dumped a glass of water in the bin and poured an ashtray into the sink.
lol!!done something like that myself today!
Washed my coffee mug and i just caught myself as i was about to throw the mug in the washer/dryer and put the tea-towel under the coffee maker >_<
Amazing how being a geek is suddenly almost cool.The point I always like to make is that everyone is a geek and only the subject changes. I'm a sci-fi geek, but there are footie geeks, history geeks, war geeks, royalty geeks, stamp geeks, chess geeks, surfing geeks ... etc.
It's whatever gets your geek on. As long as nobody else gets hurts, it's all good.
I suspect that confessing to be a geek is a sign of lack of self confidence.If you have enough self confidence then you're the Renaissance Man (or Woman) who has a wide knowledge of all important areas.The areas where you don't have any knowledge are of no important.
So the difference between the well rounded individual and the geek is actually the geek lacks the self confidence to bluff :-)
Geeks are my favourite people.Anyone who has great enthusiasm for something is damn cool in my books.

Apart from genocide, rape and other obvious exceptions...
Odd what immediately came to your mind Darren.Odd but not surprising.
Darren wrote: "Apart from genocide, rape and other obvious exceptions..."Apparently wearing socks with sandals is one of the exceptions :-)

So Gengis Khan doesn't qualify?
Did Gengis wear his sandals with socks? I had him down as more of a boot guy
I am not lacking in any type of self-confidence Jim but I would rightly associate myself as being a huge geek ;)But I agree with Darren. Everyone is a geek really :D
It's like Terry Pratchett's monks of cool“The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice. He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select.”
Only a geek would post a Pratchett quote. ;)
I couldn't work out what to do. That must mean I am zero geek.
I couldn't be bothered...
