Geek/Nerd

I love the way they talk about Geeks and Nerds as if we were a completely different breed of humans.
A few interesting tidbits from the article:
"To engage a geek or a nerd in conversation, be prepared to accept that there is something fundamentally interesting about what they obsess about. You may not fully understand why, but just accept that it is so."
"It is incumbent upon the general populace to continue attempting to integrate geeks and nerds into society. Be patient. It is worth the effort."
"Do not ever challenge a geek's level of geekdom if you wish to converse with them. Likewise, do not question the intellect of a nerd, less you risk being shunned from their conversations."

I love all the different kinds of geeks and nerds there are and how they all combine into amazing people!
For example, I am a book geek who loves musicals. Corby is a fix-it geek with a penchant for electronics.
