Nerds and Geeks

[Tom]

Here are some links: The Socio-Psychological Distinction of Nerds vs. Geeks (http://www.earthsea.com/metrogamers/nerd-gee.htm), What Makes A Geek/Nerd? (http://digitalwaffle.livejournal.com/1703.html); That's geek to me (http://www.jewishworldreview.com/1003/grimes100803.asp). I have spent some time trying to decide whether my son (and David for that matter) is a geek with nerdish tendencies or a nerd with geekish tendencies.

As a Tie Break, please complete the following sentences 'I like nerds because....'

Tom,

Hannibal Lecter's entry for your tie-breaker -

"I like nerds but I couldn't eat a whole one!"

all the best,

Stuart
