    I've never heard them called kicks or pumps before. Just trainers! Although I have heard Americans calling them sneakers :confused:

    100% Geek! Math major, physics minor, know how to use slide rule ... In my day a geek was categorized as one who wore their slide rule on their belt, being female mine was in my purse.

    I own a Power Ball, both the original and special edition of Star Wars on VHS, more than 30 (at least) computer books, and have a total of five phones on my desk right now.

    I simply must be a geek.

    Never thought to count the number of computer books - I know there's more than fit on the shelves.
    Only 4 phones though - 2 dect, 1 cell, 1 cisco ip phone.

    There's another test here - http://www.innergeek.us/

    Everyone that posts here is a geek or nerd in one way or another. No way around it. Even 'cool' posters liek Crazy rob are still regarded as ners by the whole of society. Which is OK considering we make moere money anyway.
