I was on the winning team in my Uni's geek pub quiz (Collaborative quiz between comic soc, sci fi and fantasy soc and anime soc). But I was not the one answering the most questions. I'm pretty sure I've done a most of the geekier pastimes now

I don't think it gets any geekier than coming on here and maintaining your own country. Or typing and not misspelling anything on purpose. Or not writing smilies all the time (:P). Or I could just be smarter than the average person that comes on here. Either way is good.

I didn't know lack of smilies was an indicator of intelligence. I guess you learn something new every day. :meh:

In Warhammer, you have humans, elves, orcs, etc., in 40K, you have humans, elves, orks, etc. in space!

As part of a sporting pastime I spend long periods discussing the pros and cons of different pieces of equipment, techniques, safety procedures, etc. I suppose i'm a geek in that sense

Rolemaster. And I know the core manuals of Adnd 2e almost by heart. Plus some occasional WOD.
Also, Star Trek a lot.

Also my fiancee and I make a lot of jokes about physics. Usually, we're in company of people who understand them.

I like these!

(1+1)*0=3*0
1*0+1*0=3*0
3*0 - 1*0 - 1*0 = 0
1*0=0
0=0!
