How much of a geek are you?

    I feel shame. Much, much shame.

    40%. Got a boost from pulling Smaug or whatever out of my butt (the answer, not the dragon itself, that's just Fridays (the key is beating others to the punchline))
    Although I should have probably gotten more nerd-points on the open internet windows thing, but they asked about windows, not tabs!

    Sirs, Madames,

    Damn. I had no clue who were a bigger geek than me. Trooper didn't surprise me. You, however . . . :D

  9. 55 percent, which totally baffles me. I must have answered "I have no idea" to like 10 questions and only after reading this thread did I understand the Greedo Han question but I still couldn't care less. I think the answer that shot me up the most was Ferengi? .... which is crazy cuz I rarely watched the damn show, I just had an unfortunate roommate in college who lived and died for Trek ... I just guessed Ferengi because I've never been able to purge from my brain that a Ferengi's sexual organs are its ears ...

    Now I'm going to agonize whether the geek quiz was a fluke or if I'm just in denial, which in itself probably means I'm a geek.

    Btw, can anyone else explain some of the questions in which one of the options were "I have no idea."?

    Add: And what's up with the answer 42 getting so many geek points? I only picked it because it was Jackie Robinson's number and it was the only one without decimals.

    I can try to explain the questions, but I make no promises.

    Han shot first. That was the only one of those I knew, I think.

    Somehow, I still got to 40 percent.

    My brother and I had a huge fight over the Han shooting first thing. I thought Greedo had b/c in the copies of the movies I had, he did. It ended when we watched my dad's copy of the flick, from before Lucas fucked with shit. I lost the bet, but gained in knowledge.
