I have a friend who is a professor of ancient history. He was attending a conference and another professor he knew came up and they greeted each other in Aramaic. My friend said at that moment he had an epiphany about just close he is to the geeks who greet each other in Klingon at Star Trek conventions...

That said, I still vote other: Anime fanatics are just the ultimate in geekhood. Anime itself is hideous, but people who memorize the things and go to conventions...:crazy2: yiiihhhh

I borrowed this from the video game board. It doesn't put video gamers in a good light...

They're playing the game "Rock Band" for those who don't know...

oh contrere, i think it puts video gamers in a great light, relative to this thread.
