geek rank

Okay, so I felt the urge to tease my buddy George about his “date a geek, part 2″ article from his site and how his URL no longer shows up on the first page at google: in fact, searching for date a geek at google didn’t show his url after 20 pages of searching. My article, which was a total rip-off of his original post with barely a mention of George, was raised from #10 on the 1st page to #9 on 1st page.
Putting quotes around the phrase found him on page 16 though, and bumped me up to #8 on page 1. Maybe it had something to do with posting the URL on slashdot a little while back…

So, in search of some way to guage my geekiness, I actually found a link while searching for “date a geek” (with quotes) to a “polygeek test” which you can view here. My results: I’m only 50% geek:

You are 50% geek
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.

You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You’ll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!

Geek [to You]: I’m givin’ her all she’s got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!

You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.
