Are you a geek ? (yeah right, like I need to ask)

Good points, Attrocities!

I'm surprised this one didn't make the list as it must be one of the geekiest things of all time:

1. I speak the Klingon language. (well that is the language made up by some other geek and called Klingon)

or perhaps:

2. I've read Hamlet writen in Klingon. (YES this book is available. I kid you not)

And you scored how high?

Suprisingly the only person I've ever seen labelled a geek, or anything in that vein, is someone labeling themselves....

OK, I redid the test without exaggerating (basically replying 'yes' when the real answer was 'I may have at one time, I don't know') and the score was :

39.64497 % - Major Geek.

Not surprising, since I've always been into puzzles and games, which eventually branched out into RPGs and computer games. I also read anything I can get my hands on.

Why is listening to TMBG a sign of geek-hood? I know TMBG from Australian science-fiction writer Greg Egan, but I have no idea what kind of a following they have in the U.S.
