As always the final scores are tallied scientifically, which means I just arbitrarily decide based upon not only the facts but my opinions. Rest assured if you give a good reason than you not only might get full points, BUT you also might get Extra Credit. Probalby not, but I’m just throwing it out there. Send all comments, concerns, complaints, & death threats to the comments section of this very blog so I can tell you to F’ yourself. I’ll start compiling scores as they come in, but just like last time here’s the ‘breakdown’;

175 – 200 + = You are one smart S.O.B. I’d fear you in a battle of Star Wars Trivial Persuit.
174 = You are Special. Not short bus special, but Special nonetheless.
173 – 133 = You are above the ‘Common Geek’. Bask in your superiority; push an old person down a flight of stairs, take candy from babies, and shine up that pocket protector. YOU are one of US!
132 – 89 = Respectable. You are showing that you haven’t lived under a rock your whole life. Even though rocks are cool and comfortable. Dammit, now I want to sleep under a rock.
88 = Average. Yup, that’s right you are the poster child for ‘Merica.
87 – 25 = You are now approaching short bus special.
24 – 0 = Why are you even reading this blog, it must be like your trying to understand Swahili when you don’t speak it.

My fingers are tired of typing, so I’m OUT!
