If you know what SETI stands for.

You know that Microsoft is the spawn of Satan

If you know what ASCII stands for

You understand what a tachyon is

If you know how to spell antidisestablishmentarianism in less than a second

Phrase your essay responses in the form of a question

    *  If you own a machine which runs Unix, Ultrix, Linux, FreeBSD, or any other such operating system, you might be a geek.

I have worked with one that runs with UNIX.

 

* You might be a geek if you can call more than three Star Trek episodes (any series) by name, or if you can name the entire cast of any of the shows.

* You might even be a geek if you even knew there was more than one series.

ummm, well I am a Trek fan so I guess that answers these, LOL.

 

* You might be a geek if you chose voluntarily to go to grad school primarily out of interest for the subject you were studying.

:huh: I will be. Still at the University & Comm. College level right now.

 

* You might be a geek if you own an autographed copy of Kerninghan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language.

not autographed, and gave it to my little brother...guess that still kinda counts.

 

* If your favourite number is irrational or imaginary, you might be a geek.

well none of my favorites have a whole number as a result of taking the square root. Well, one creates a whole number.. the rest result in a value containing a decimal.

 

* If you automatically assume “coax” has two syllables, you might be a geek.

It depends on how you gotta use it in a sentence.

:yes: to all.

 

Well maybe it would take a little over a second to spell that. I actually can spell deoxyribonucleic acid a bit faster faster. But then DNA IS a little shorter so that would be why. :P

:yes: Though my brother does the part about trashed computers on a more regular basis, but I have personally in the past

 

 

 

Oh good grief... I guess this makes it very obvious why I got over 40% on that geek test :blush 2:

You have a Shirt that says " Love an Engineer" :P

[Yillara Skye 1]

You make a t-shirt that talks about ways to survive chemistry & labs..

 

That said sayings are because of stuff you actually learned versus searching out sayings on websites.

 

you wonder if your professor will either laugh at the shirt or kill you so very dead for it.

 

 

And you happen to be wearing it as you type this and wonder if you should have added a few more things. LOL

[nerd359 0]

You have a Shirt that on the Front says "I'm a typical Kettering Student"

 

 

 

In English, French, Italian, Dutch, German, Spanish, Norwegian, and Portugese on the front, and the demographic Breakdown of your school on the back :biggrin:

 

You made a cheat shirt for the AP chemistry midterm 2 years ago and still wear it.

[Yillara Skye 1]

You actually went and bought a couple shirts regarding the hurricanes of last year

 

One of mine is a post card that says "Welcome to Florida, we are here" and it has a radar image of Florida from when either Charlie or Frances were coming through. and the other says "I Survived the Tripple Whammy: Charley, Frances and Jeanne"

 

Emil Soong has a parody of the Survivor logo, but it talks about three of the hurricanes to hit Florida

 

We went through all three. And both of us wear the shirts quite often.

 

 

 

You are a geek I guess if you complained about how much you wanted a t-shirt about "The Storm of the Century" (circa 1991, the same storm that eventually becaume the subject of the movie "The Perfect Storm") it said storm of the century on the front, and then on the back listed all of the states that had schools closed, and highways that were shut down, and major airport closings, and largest amount of rain/snowfall, coldest recorded temps.. stuff like that.

 

 

Speaking of shirts.. My mom got me a shirt when I went and saw Halley's comet(at age 5), and I wore that shirt to DEATH and finally had to toss what shreds of it were left when I was about 12.. I guess you are a complete geek when you spend all this time searching for the image that was on the shirt. And finally locate it last year, scan the image in color it similar to the way it was on the old shirt and make a new shirt that you can wear to death! :biggrin: :lol:
