I lost four percent because I do not read comic books and have not since the magic age of 14.
The other six percent, I'm not so sure about. But I did answer all the questions honestly. I guess 90% isn't bad.

Why are we so dishonest? Why do we bad things, even when we know we're doing something bad? Ever since Adam and Eve ate that apple, we've assumed that there is something inherently tempting about sin. If left to our own devices, we'd all turn into men at a Vegas bachelor party, indulging in sex,…

A few of my recent posts here appear to have struck some nerves, and I've been
getting lots of annoying email containing the same questions, over and over again. So rather than reply individually, I'm going to answer them here in the hope that either (a) people will see the answers before send the…

I only got 77% . .but I majored in Drama, so I have an excuse. I sort of think of myself more as geek groupy than an actual geek.
Dang. -50% for the double-post; sorry Greg! My router died when I clicked Post. I can only assume that the POST request was received by the server, but my router died receiving the response (50% for diagnosing the reason :-)
I got an 82%, but I blame their limited definition of geek.
82%, looking only one thing up on Wikipedia.
My bet is that you failed on question 8.
That said I cannot ever get a 100% on that questionaire :/

(But you could never foresee that, could you ... get it? Larry Ellison? Foresee?)
O'Reilly and the others are all computer guys as well, with various connections. They really should have included Jeffrey Freidl. That would have been funny. Or "The owls" or "The Owls vs The Camel"
The reason it is William Shakespeare is because /(bb|[^b]{2})/ roughly means "to be or not to be..."
For me it reminded me of LaTeX. And yes I know LaTeX would get out a club and hit me if I tried to enter that as valid code :)
I'm either not geeky enough or too geeky to want to sign up for an online dating site in order to take this quiz. I prefer this one: http://www.innergeek.us/geek-test.html (my score: 56.01578%, which makes me an Extreme Geek - the 3rd level, below 1) Geek God and 2) Dysfunctional Geek).
