To quote homer:

NNNEEEERRRRDDDDD!


Nerds are generally good with the academics
where as geeks are generally good with things like video games, action figures and fiction.
There is a lot of grey area though. I have always perceived Star Trek as a nerdy series, where as Star Wars felt geeky. But I can never figure out why I get that feeling

[STL]

The half being that my degree is technically for Communications, but it was for digital media, which is more I.T.

[GoktimusPrime]

9.5 points for me.

The 0.5 comes from:

34. I've read all of the greatest novels ever published, all of which happen to be graphic novels.
Umm... does this question mean that I only ever read comic books or just that I happen to read a lot of comic books? I'm the latter... I wasn't sure how to score myself on this one so I just gave myself half a point. ;)

The fact that I've put way too much thought into this question should earn me a bonus point though. :p
