I don’t know. How tall are you and what’s your weight?
Two attempts at geekery

Best I can do for geekiness.
It will be interesting to see if I nailed it that far; it has been years since I recalled it.
You’ll have to believe me on this one, but I can tell you the particle size distribution of a ssoil by rubbing it between my fingers. From 2000-2microns

No it wasn’t…
When interpreted as morse code (with the * read as a .), one of the lines reads 1337. I am no leet-geek though, couldn’t make much of the rest.
I could file many claims to geekdom. One of them which would be somewhat on topic here is that I do most of my unicycling with a GPS receiver strapped on top of my helmet.
It was to me. I guess I didn’t pass the geek test. 
Yep!
The message is in Leet, then in morse code.
As my ultimate claim to geekdom, though, I’ll have to admit that I programmed the a morse coder/decoder myself. 
My claim to geekdom is that, instead of make up, perfume, whatever other women carry in their handbags, I carry a digital camera and my Pocket PC.

I win ( :
thats pretty impressive though…
my real claim to geekdom is that I solve Rubiks cubes in 20 seconds.
!!! Being one-upped in geekdom is way cool!I think the Rubic cube trumps manual soil textural analysis, too.
You know, I really wish I had met you when I was in Pullman. I plan to visit WSU and my good friends in Moscow this spring, I’ll try to bring a Uni and give you a heads up.
sweet, we should get together for a ride sometime then!
Ahem.
Should read 9399, I believe.
SHOOT, you’re right, I always get that part confused. I guess you’re a bigger geek than me, then (:

But, you know… for most simple applications, Pi = 3 is just fine.
For a long period of time, pi was thought to be 22/7. It’s less than half a percent off from pi’s currently accepted value, so it’s a great first-order approximation.
Some days I’d walk into my physics class to see one of the dual majors (math / physics) writing the first 100 digits of pi on the board. I’d burn them up by adding under their scribbles: pi ~ 22/7 Oh, it’s so fun picking on the math majors!
People people people! Sure, many of us think of pi as being 3 or 22/7, but in reality, the simplest approximation is that pi=yummy! And isn’t it 3993? That’s how it is in my Joy of Pi book.
gilby why didn’t you use a tiny url addresas for that one?
im so much of a geek i want one of these for christmas:
