And now, what the hell is a geek?

What is a geek??? Wikipedia helps us this time too:

"A geek (pronunciation /gi:k/ ) is a person who is fascinated, perhaps obsessively, by obscure or very specific areas of knowledge and imagination. Geek may not always have the same meaning as the term nerd"

Ok, all clear. No problem, but... but... but what is a nerd? Wikipedia saves us another time:

"Nerd, as a stereotypical or archetypal designation, refers to somebody who pursues intellectual interests at the expense of skills that are useful in a social setting, such as communication, fashion, or physical fitness."

Do you want to know more? Wikipedia: Geek, Nerd.

Are you satisfied? Maybe are you worried about this geeks now? Will geeks conquer the world? Are geeks better than us? Are geeks like us? Do geeks think? Have geeks got feelings? Don't worry about these things, because maybe you are a geek and you haven't known before!

There's only a way to solve this amletic doubt: the Geek Test !!!

What the hell does "Mystic Fry" mean?

It come from a funny dialogue of a 80's film, "Short Circuit", that I loved when I was child! It speaks about a military robot prototype called "Number 5". A power surge hits Number 5 while it is recharging and alters its program, causing a malfunction. Another accident causes it to be taken outside company grounds and it wanders off, unable to communicate and not knowing where it is.
Watch this to refresh your memory.

Probably this dialogue there is only in Italian version because it's based on italian words. The funny dialogue starts when two men are worried about what malfunctioning robot could do:

(translation from Italian)
-- "...... and if he meets a bus of nuns and fry them with his laser, how do you image the newspapers' titles tomorrow???
-- "Mystic Fry!"

explanation: in Italian "Mystic Fry" is "Fritto Mistico" that sounds like "Fritto Misto", and "Fritto Misto" is "Mixed Fry" in English! Have you understood? Haven't you? It doesn't matter! The important thing is that it have to be funny for me:-p
