20 symptoms of nerd

credit: ray

You collect funny SPAM messages. 

You talk to your computers, not because you're bored, but because you're afraid they might be. 

Your household ratio of computers to humans is at least 4:1. 

You are completely free of tan lines. 

When someone says 'organized sports' you think 'LAN party' 

You have lost most of your social abilities. 

You never used them anyway. 

When you must converse with others, you speak a cryptic language of acronyms decipherable only by another geek. 

No 'warranty seal' is safe in your presence. 

You have a gigantic box of spare cables that you never use. 

You could never be convinced to part with it. 

You want your 21" Trinitron CRT monitor to be buried with you. 

You understand why '42' and 'AYBABTU' are funny, and still laugh at both. 

You're afraid of the telephone. 

You're always free on Friday night. Free to play your favorite MMORPG 

You consider 'Geek' a complement. 

Your non geek friends have no idea what you do for a living. 

Camping in the woods, without electricity, or wireless access is your idea of a nightmare not a vacation. 

You have over 30 E-mail accounts, and check them all regularly. 

You understand computers better than people.
