35.50296% - Major Geek

The scary thing is, I thought I was a pretty intense geek, but there are way more categories above mine o.O

18.14596% - Geek  Not near what I was expecting.  Maybe its because I hate any non-computer games(boards games, card games,ect.)

Fun facts about Chuck Norris:

Newton's Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal in reaction to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

Chuck Norris can divide by zero.

Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter.

Yeah, to be an uber geek, you probably have to be an unkempt roleplayer/unix system administrator who reads (and writes) fiction for all major fantasy and sci-fi seres.

Roleplaying doesn't appeal to me.  There's just so much to do in real life, why play around with a game?

Whew! 40.44%, Major Geek! (Shouldn't there be some sci-fi character named Major Geek?) I don't know whether to be proud or mortified.

Phrases that should be on this test but aren't:

MIT
Lara Croft
assembly language
Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy (though it is refered to)
4-way chess
psychohistory
superconductor
awkward

Today I was not blinded, crippled and dipped in boiling silver to make a graven image of the spiritual condition to which I naturally tend. So it was a good day.

Yeah, I saw 42, but I didn't notice any references to towels, which has always been among my favorite parts of the Hitchhiker's Guide. A shame, that.

Attempts have been made to differentiate, but there's plenty of overlap. Not something I'd quibble about

Wow... 27.4%... I'm a lot more geeky than I thought I was! I guess it's because my family is all of greater geekish caliber than I that it rubs off on me. Oh well, I don't mind too much...

Some of that stuff I literally laughed out loud at because I always thought they were my brother's inventions... little did I know that they were actually geek terms... like The Blue Screen Of Death... LOL

One that definately needs to be on there: If you have a bumper sticker on your car that reads: "All your base are belong to us"

Hey, don't blame the fam for your score...both mom and dad would probably score lower than you ^_^

Heh, that's funny that you thought I invented the term BSOD...
