Over 50%
- Yes, but I can tel you plainly that there are far better role-playing systems to use, which must score a person some extra nerd points
7. Can you quote the entire of "The Matrix" from start to finish?
-- No, but I can quote the entire Holy Grail and every episode of Blackadders II, III, and IV in full
12. Ever make a "Scorpion that hovars without flapping" thread?

( i saw a special on it) and explain how the flag was moving when there is no wind due to the low gravity on the moon? explain that huh HUH? Plus russian astronauts went in space that same day to compete, but puleld back due to the high velocity of UV rays which nearly kileld those russian astronauts, but i guess since were the U.S. we are considered "superman" yet krypotonite cant hurt us either.. so that would make us the hulk <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

5 isnt bad i think....
i read forums more then i play cos i like to contribute and to be a part of a community...
10mb? But, that's just like 1 video...it would have to be at least 1 gig to qualify.
Hm, skimming over the list, I'd put myself around 20 to 30%, probably. I guess I really lose points with all the Star Trek stuff, since I don't watch it.
I list a formal complaint about numbers:1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 17, 23, 24 and 25.
Unsure about 26, as I don't. I also complain about 2, 8, 9, 10 and 11 unless the answer given somehow relates to NS (i.e. playing WCIII for 48 hours straight or saying lol irl if you picked up the habit while playing CS doesn't count).
But the idea is great. Redo your questions a little and you have a fine little poll that should be placed on a website somewhere for people to partake in.
And how is it possible to go 48 hours WITHOUT going to the bathroom? Wouldn't your bladder or your kidneys explode or something?

Most definately. Where else are you going to sleep at a LAN?
You don't have to leave the computer to urinate, if you plan ahead and are male. :b See Alternate Methods To Stopping On Long Car Trips vol 3, chapter 6; 'Alternate uses for empty drinking containers'.
Oh.. and my 96-hour stint was without sleep. I had a college project due, and was up that long coding nearly nonstop. It was fun to go back over the code later, and be amazed at how it worked, much less that it compiled on the third try, and that I was actually able to debug it into compiling while in super sleep-dep. Spaghetti code waist-deep, and rising. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
And just so y'know, I don't count any of the 'leetspeak' questions as being applicable to actual geekdom, merely trend-geekdom. Same with Matrix stuff.
Better 'computer geek' questions to replace these:
<li>Can you identify the brand and model of your motherboard's chipset?
<li>Can you point out the Northbridge?
- And know what it does?
<li>Can you tell the difference between a PCI slot and an AGP slot?
- AMR slot?
- ISA slot?
- VESA slot?
- VESA-64 slot?
<li>Do you know the difference between a DIMM and a SIMM?
- 72 versus 30?
- Paired versus split?
<li>Do you know where pre/non-IDE CD ROM drives tended to connect?
<li>Know C?
- Know C++?
- Know why C# sucks?
- Make fun of people who 'program' in Visual Basic?
<li>Have you ever breadboarded an IC?
- ...and had it work?
<li>Know what the magic blue smoke is?
- And what it does?
- And let it out?
Those are the only ones off the top of my head, but I may toss in a few more later on.
Nope

3) I don't post here too often. By nature I'm a lurker.
4) None. I do watch star-trek on a regular basis.
5) Nope.

7) I can't be bothered to remember the exact lines.
8) In an hour or so. Exercise is a good thing.
