OMG. Was that a +3 vorpal warhammer or a mace of striking used by that bellicose feline?

I come back to this thread to find a full blown discussion about Batman...

You guys go ahead and laugh, but for me, it's the 1966 Batman movie...

Anyone want me to bring back anything?

Yes Commissarka, a black leather catsuit and a whip. 1960's Batman movie brings back fond memmories of Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt, the 60's Catwomen. Now I know why a woman with a whip can hold my attention. Commissarka Pinkie, I have been a very naughty aggitator - I must be punished. It's for the good of The PartyTM.

26 % Nerd, 52% Geek, 65% Dork
For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Geek and Dork, earning you the title of: Computer Savant.

People confuse you with a Nerd all of the time. You aren't some genius, like some people have said, and didn't/don't really like school all that much (and you especially hated some of the social aspects, like getting mocked). It's just that you have some passions and interests that you're extremely into/good at, and this has placed you in circles with other social outcasts, some of whom are exceptionally bright.

The awesome thing about being where you are is that you get to hang out with an elite group (though you'd probably rather be alone, or with only the closest friends and family) and you can make quite a good career for yourself in your particular specialities. Common to this group are people who are highly into electronics/computers as that is where the money lies, today.

Now how can you be 65% Dork and called a Computer Savant, while I came out with less dorkage--56%--and have been labeled "Pure Dork"?

Though I'm certainly not "computer savvy"--and now my 43% nerdiness is propelling me over to the dictionary because I'm suddenly wondering if that word came from "savant."

(Turns out both words have the same basic origin, Latin sapere for wise.)

I'm 43% Nerd, 43% Geek, and 56% Dork.

You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgeable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
