Planet of the Geeks
Here's a further question, and perhaps a more interesting one - How do you define "geek"? Of course, I'm speaking vernacularly here. I'm not talking about the narrow definition of a circus performer who bites the heads off chickens.What traits do geeks have in common? Is there such a thing as geek culture? Is a geek merely someone who is unpopular or just someone who doesn't court popularity? Are geeks by nature introverted? awkward? socially inept? Are there different species of distinct kinds of geeks?
