geek = obsessed with something (can be any kind of geek, well according to cali lewis)
nerd = likes something to do with math/science (which covers tech) dork = someone you cant help but to laugh at and if you're reading this thread, chances are you are all three

I feel a little ashamed of the role I played in directing this thread down a disturbing path, vis a vie the whole computer boobies thing............. mmm computer boobies.............sorry!
But I very impressed at how you Geeks have dragged it back on track.

For the record my take on the whole Geek vs Nerd debate:
A Geek is someone who takes an above normal interest in anything and likes to learn about it. A Nerd is similar to a Geek (may favor Maths and Science) but without the social skills. So if you've got a wife you're probably a Geek. Take my current and well documented obsession with computer boobies, it's okay because I've got a wif............wait I don't have a wife.......so that must mean I'm a Ner............ Never mind what I just said they're both compliments and both cool. COMPUTER BOOBIES

The word geek dates back to the 1800's.
It was the term for a person in a circus sideshow that ate disgusting things. Usually they bit the heads off chickens. So that makes Ozzy the king of geeks.

I know that I'm a geek because I totally geeked out when I saw the trailer for the new Star Trek movie (coming 2009!).
