You might be a geek if.....
 
  • If you introduce your wife as "mylady@home.wife"
    If your spouse sends you an e-mail instead of calling you to dinner
    If you can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie
    If you want a DVD-ROM for Christmas
    If Dilbert is your hero
    If you stare at an orange juice container because it says CONCENTRATE
    If you can name 6 Star Trek episodes
    If the only jokes you receive are through e-mail (Hey, this one sounds real familiar)
    If your wrist watch has more computing power than a 486DX-50
    If your idea of good interpersonal communication means getting the decimal point in the right place
    If you look forward to Christmas only to put together the kids' toys
    If you use a CAD package to design your son's Pine Wood Derby car
    If you have used coat hangers and duct tape for something other than hanging coats and taping ducts
    If, at Christmas, it goes without saying that you will be the one to find the burnt-out bulb in the string
    If you window shop at Radio Shack
    If your ideal evening consists of fast-forwarding through the latest sci-fi movie looking for technical inaccuracies
    If you have "Dilbert" comics displayed anywhere in your work area
    If you carry on a one-hour debate over the expected results of a test that actually takes five minutes to run
    If you are convinced you can build a phazer out of your garage door opener and your camera's flash attachment
    If you don't even know where the cover to your personal computer is
    If you have modified your can-opener to be microprocessor driven
    If you know the direction the water swirls when you flush
    If you own "Official Star Trek" anything
    If you have ever taken the back off your TV just to see what's inside
    If a team of you and your co-workers have set out to modify the antenna on the radio in your work area for better reception
    If you ever burned down the gymnasium with your Science Fair project
    If you are currently gathering the components to build your own nuclear reactor
    If you own one or more white short-sleeve dress shirts
    If you have never backed-up your hard drive
    If you are aware that computers are actually only good for playing games, but are afraid to say it out loud
    If you truly believe aliens are living among us
    If you have ever saved the power cord from a broken appliance
    If you have ever purchased an electronic appliance "as-is"
    If you see a good design and still have to change it
    If the salespeople at Circuit City or CompUSA can't answer any of your questions
    If you still own a slide rule and you know how to work it
    If the thought that a CD could refer to finance or music never enters your mind
    If you own a set of itty-bitty screw drivers, but you don't remember where they are
    If you rotate your screen savers more frequently than your automobile tires
    If you have a functioning home copier machine, but every toaster you own turns bread into charcoal
    If you have more toys than your kids
    If you need a checklist to turn on the TV
    If you have introduced your kids by the wrong name
    If you have a habit of destroying things in order to see how they work
    If your I.Q. number is bigger than your weight
    If the microphone or visual aids at a meeting don't work and you rush up to the front to fix it
    If you can remember 7 computer passwords but not your anniversary
    If you have memorized the program schedule for the Discovery channel and have seen most of the shows already
    If you have ever owned a calculator with no equal key and know what RPN stands for
    If your father sat 2 inches in front of your family's first color TV with a magnifying lens to see how they made the colors, and you grew up thinking that was normal
    If you know how to take the cover off of your computer, and what size screw driver to use
    If you can type 70 words a minute but can't read your own handwriting
    If people groan at the party when you pick out the music
    If you can't remember where you parked your car for the 3rd time this week - especially a reg VW bug in Madison, WI.
    If you did the sound system for your senior prom
    If your checkbook always balances
    If your wristwatch has more buttons than a telephone
    If you have more friends on the Internet than in real life
    If you thought the real heroes of "Apollo 13" were the mission controllers
    If you think that when people around you yawn, it's because they didn't get enough sleep
    If you spend more on your home computer than your car
    If you know what http:// stands for
    If you've ever tried to repair a $5.00 radio
    If you have a neatly sorted collection of old bolts and nuts in your garage
    If your three year old son asks why the sky is blue and you try to explain atmospheric absorption theory
    If your laptop computer costs more than your car

Did anyone else answer yes more times than no?? Or was that just me??
