A sad geek, a looser, a joke? well dont worry!, we geeks rule the world!

We aren't politicians, nothing so mundane. No, we are much more important that that.

We invented the lightbulb, the H bomb, the internal combustion engine, the computer, the calculator, we explained right angle triangles to confuse the non geeks forever more with Pythagoras theorem!

We have dreams that most would laugh at, just look at James Dyson, laughed out of every current vacuum producers buildings. He's laughing all the way to the bank now in his 20 million pound stately home which he out bid Robbie Williams for!

We said the world was round (and some of died for it), produced string theory and quantum mechanics. Black holes were laughed at before WE proved it. We are mighty! we are power!

"It's about power" (BtVPS)

Oh, yeah, and we're prone to quote Sci fi and fantasy programs and books ;)

"Don't panic!" (HGttG)

Oh, our number have done so much good for the world, from the invention of the wheel, to the simple helping the non geek's understand that the computer doesn't like McD's thick shakes spilt over it, and often wont work afterwards.

We control every company that relies on computers, for without us, they would grind to a shaking halt!

And without us, and our geek friend Logie Baird (sp) there would be no cathode ray tube, therefore no TV! consequently, no Buffy, no Star Trek, no CSI and, heaven forbid, NO POOTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geeks of the world rest easy. You might not be appreciated, you might not have money or power, but we make the world turn (and explain how it turns). We are the greatest contributors to humanity's evolution, for without us we'd be writing letters with ink pots anc quills and, heaven forbid, sending them by post!

Whatever makes you feel better my friend.

Who said the world was flat?

I call myself a geek. =)

If geeks rule the world then why are none of them top ranking politicians?

Hmm, maybe geeks are the Illuminati ;)

*wanders off to think of more conspiracy theories*

I and a friend were openly mocked by the student council many, many years ago. Does that count as being called a geek or loser?

I was never called a geek. Made fun of a lot of them though :p

I'm a geek! ^^ Most of my best friends fall into either the categories of geek, dork, or nerd, and we're all proud of it, too xD

I made fun of you people in high school, har har har :cool:

Heh, I'm a geek :p

I don't like to call myself a 'geek'. I tend to refer to myself as 'god', and I expect most people who meet me in person to do the same, or they end up upside-down on a flagpole.

...I'm not joking.

The washing machine makes me feel better. Did your scarcasism invent that?

Who said the world was flat?

everyone before Galiellio(sp) i believe

Because geeks are interested in more important things tha power. Did you miss the first post?

We have more important things to worry about, if geeks are crap, why does bill gates warn more than the president? because he's more intelligent and does the country more good!

Imagin working on a *gasp* typewriter*. think how tippex sales would soar!

Yes, because people were scared of your intelligence. Thats why geeks are so put upon.

Well, it takes intelligence to make a funny out down, just be grateful we're not mean. :D

everyone before Galiellio(sp) i believe

No, people were aware that the world was round before Galileo. Galileo claimed several things - (1) That there were craters on the moon (2) That everything in the Universe did not revolve around the Earth (3) That the planets had satellites, all of which were incompatible with church doctrine at the time.

Actually Gallileo only voiced the claims made by Copernicus that the Sun was the center of the Universe and not the Earth. Everyone knew the world was round, just maps of the Heavens, Earth and Hell had to be drawn flat as a representation, proper sailing maps showed the world was round....
Geeky enough for you? :p

I get "nerd" all the time, though mainly in a joking sense, since many of the people I hang around with are nerds themselves. Nerds rule!

well geeky enough. :D

people dont get that geeks (Thomas Eddison for example) arent all coke bottle glasses wearing, cant talk of anything but startrek, cant play sports people.

heaven a nobel prize winner be a baseball hero! ;)

I've been called a lot of things... never a geek though. In fact, for the first few years of my life I could have sworn my name was actually "GODDAMNITYOULITTLESHITYOUWHATHAVEYOUDONENOW"

I don't quite know what I should be classified as. I'm no good at math but I like science, and while there are a lot of smarter people than me at school I'm perhaps one of the weirdest around.

I try to avoid being grouped by being extremely strange.

Perhaps I'm closer to a geek than something else.

Hell yeah! Ever been called a geek and thanking the guy who did it? Hilarious results!

heaven a nobel prize winner be a baseball hero! ;)

THe guy who came up with PCR - and got a Nobel Prize - is a surfer dude (and is so inappropriate at times that GATech - his alma mater - won't even let him come back and speak anymore. =)

Hail to the Nerds!

I dont claim these are acurate, they were sent round by e-mail after all and thousands might have messed with the following but if, as a geek, you ever envied a sportsman, you wont after this! :D

My god... Those guys are morons! Especially the idiot who said "I want them to copulate me"!

Well, it takes intelligence to make a funny out down, just be grateful we're not mean.

Speak for yourself.

"Is light a wave or a particle?"
"<Insert answer>"
"Wrong! It's <other answer>!"
"Umm... <insert other answer>"
"Wrong!"
(I could go on liek that for a while, but the other guy usually can't...)

That's even more fun when you have two guys, one who says wave is wrong and one who says particle is wrong :)

Aaah! The Nerds Are Attacking!

Promise not to use electrisity, eat processed food or drive anything and we'll leave you alone ;)

i've never been called a geek, or anything (to my face) for that matter (except jokingly by my geek friends :D )
i've usually been bigger than the other kids, so i didn't get name-called a lot :D

"Is light a wave or a particle?"

I might be being really dense here (no pun intended) but i believe a light (or EM) wave is made up of photons, there for neither being a wave or a particle and is the basis for the wave/particle dualiy theory sumerised by E-MC2.

It's neither/both/unknown.
Photons are anti-matter. Good grief, I was awake during Sci-Fi lessons.

Every day.

All my friends, myself, and even my GF fall under the "Geek/Dork" category, and we're proud to be there, cuz geeks go farther in life then people like "gangsta's" or your potheads or such

Every day.

I love the way people look down on "gangstas"

It's neither/both/unknown.
Photons are anti-matter. Good grief, I was awake during Sci-Fi lessons.

Photons are not anti matter.

I dont get to watch Sci Fi, sorry. my knowledge comes from Stephen Hawkins (mainly) and Richard Dawkin(sp)'s books.

I've only been called a geek once. Then I beat the guy up and took his lunch money. He went from the class bully to the class bullied.

Photons are not anti matter.

I dont get to watch Sci Fi, sorry. my knowledge comes from Stephen Hawkins (mainly) and Richard Dawkin(sp)'s books.

Photons are neutral particles in that area that shift between matter and energy forms, probably due to the sheer speed at which they travel. They are more accurately described as a wave that keeps changing its frequency.

Positrons are antimatter.

What are photons?

I made fun of you people in high school, har har har :cool:

Yeah, we know. We're the ones now going into such succesful careers as filmmaking, authoring, journalism, and teaching, whilst you remain a lowly Canadian.

I might be being really dense here (no pun intended) but i believe a light (or EM) wave is made up of photons, there for neither being a wave or a particle and is the basis for the wave/particle dualiy theory sumerised by E-MC2.

That equation explains how much energy would be yielded when a given amount of matter comes in contact with an equal amount of anti-matter. It is used to explain that matter and energy are interchangable.

Hmm, maybe geeks are the Illuminati ;)
No, we aren't.(geeks are good)
For that matter, we aren't financially backing the Club of Rome, and there were no geeks involved with the MK-NAOMI and MK-ULTRA projects.
(we run the world)
Really, would we lie and attempt to manipulate you? Of course not.

Take that, geek-shover!

What are photons?

Particles of light. I wouldn't advise trying to catch any, as that requires an antimatter bomb for you to even have a chance at.

No guarantees how accurate the above is.

Free piece of advice: Don't threaten those of high enough intelligence to be called geeks. You never know which one happens to be psychotic.

Negro, please

You never know which one happens to be psychotic.
I am completely harmless. Only mildly psychotic, and I have nothing else wrong with me. Really, would I lie?
Yeah, she's telling the truth! There's nothing wrong with us. We are fine!
Yeah!
I don't know about you three, but I wanna go kill something.
SHUT UP! You aren't supposed to say that out loud!
You three shut up and let me use the mouth, I'm trying to talk here!

Okay, as I was saying, there's...
Wait, where did everybody go?

I'm still here!

...Damnit, I told you not to talk out of line.

Sorry man, but it's my right to talk, so up yours.

*punch*

Ow...

I was always a geek, but I was a respected geek growing up. Nothing like being able to dazzle your peers with accurate meaningful bullshit AND kick the living hell out of anyone who had delusions of superiority. :d

everyone before Galiellio(sp) i believe

Nicolas Copernicus was responsible for debunking the Geostationary Orbit theory which was originally thought up by Ptolemy and Aristotle. Galileo later defended Nicolas idea.

Eratosthenes of Cyrene, head of the Great Library of Alexandria was the one who had originally proven the earth to be round. He and some assistants based their conclusion on the shadows cast by obelisks in different parts of Egypt at different times of day.

Now how's THAT for some geekyness? :D

What are photons?

The easiest non-scientific explenation is that they are tiny "packets" of energy. so when you get a sun tan, it's because your skin is absprbing these energy packets and reacting to it.

Particles of light. I wouldn't advise trying to catch any, as that requires an antimatter bomb for you to even have a chance at.

We catch them all the time! they make vitamin D in the skin, distroy the sleep hormone melanin so we dont drop off in the day, they power photosynthisis, there by creating oxygen and recycling CO2 and they power solar panels. We just cant release their energy in a lab yet.

Photons are neutral particles in that area that shift between matter and energy forms, probably due to the sheer speed at which they travel. They are more accurately described as a wave that keeps changing its frequency.

Also known as wave particle duality. Wave's being energy, particles being mass.

That equation explains how much energy would be yielded when a given amount of matter comes in contact with an equal amount of anti-matter. It is used to explain that matter and energy are interchangable.

No, it explains how much energy is contained within matter and EM rays. Both are interchangable under the right circumstances since energy cannot be distroyed only changed.

An anti matter reaction would give off the most energy but it isnt what the equation is for.
