You know I have to say I thought I was even geekier than 86% so this surprised me.The little blurb said, "Ever lose your car keys and wish life had ctrl+f? Have you trained your parakeet to whistle songs from the Ocarina of Time? You could be a geek: take our 2 minute quiz to determine how much geek is coursing through your veins!" And so I HAD to take the quiz, haha!
86% Geek
