You Might Be a Nerd

As a public service to you, my readers, I offer a simple test. It can tell you if you might, in fact, have come by your geekiness by both nature and nurture.

If recent conversations among you and your siblings (and such) have included any two of the following sentences, you are a bit on the geeky side of things.

1. "Quit hogging all the bandwidth!"

2. "What's a mammal that's slightly more complex than a gerbil?"

3. "Oh, nothing. I'm just reconfiguring my kernel parameters and having some beer."
