I dont really fit the two options that are lised.I also prefer Dork. Usually I get that when I do something really stupid...which I am prone to do :wink: At work there are a few situations that have coined the term "pulling an Ami" :P . Nothing like trying to take a call only to realize that my mouth piece isn't down. Can you hear me?? How about now?? X|

I agree, we need other choices, since I am none of the above. I am however far from normal or average 8)

Sorry Dave, I'm going to have to say that you are definitely a dork. :P

As for me, I'm definitely a geek, although it always shocks everyone when they find that out about me. I must hide it well when I'm away from friends.

I don't like the word "nerd" because it makes me think of that movie "Revenge of the Nerds" and I am definitely not in that category. At least I'd like to think that I know how to dress and act in social situations. I could be wrong.

When was this exactly?

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

The Geeks were the ones who destroyed the Persicons in the Battle of Thermodynamics as everyone who's seen 300 now knows.

We did it once, we can do it again! Geek Life Power!

But the point of the poll is simply a "war" between geeks and nerds. :wink: We've ALL been called both whether to our face or our back. In my book, anyone who complains is automatically a nerd. :P

Sorry, Wendy! :sweatdrop I'll classify you as a geeky nerd. :P Outside of this thread though, you'll remain a dork. :friends: *hugs Wen-chan back*

I busted out laughing when I received this at work the other day. I thought everyone here would enjoy it too.

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testi ... 0046738815

Here was my score.

52 % Nerd, 82% Geek, 26% Dork

I always said I am a geek. :D

Whereas to me, a geek is just an average person with waay too much time to devote to something that does not contribute to the advancement of mankind. Also, I looked up the definition of a geek and one of the definitions was as follows: "a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken." :puzzled Ick...soooo yeah. Nerd it is.
LOL!!!
Now see, I feel the exact same way, and I STILL chose geek.
Because I'm both, but more often than not, I'm a geek. :P


And I'm cool with that. :wink:

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
65% Nerd
52% Geek
39% Dork

And check it out, that makes me:
"You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd."

I say again: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
