What Your Pizza Reveals

People may tell you that you have a small appetite... but you aren't under eating. You just aren't a pig.

You aren't particularly picky about pizza. It's so good... how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of the US.

You like food that's traditional and well crafted. You aren't impressed with "gourmet" foods.

You are dependable, loyal, and conservative with your choices.

You are cultured and intellectual. You should consider traveling to Vienna.

The stereotype that best fits you is geek. You're the type most likely to order pizza to avoid leaving your computer.

I have a very funny couple of friends that for some reason get asked a lot if they are brother and sister, so they came up with the perfect answer for when people ask: They look each other with a very sweet smile and asnwer: "That too."

Situation: all the system is offline because of a error in the firewall, you are one of the only people that have access to the datacenter to go there and solve the problem, you have a broken leg, so no way you get there in a reasonable time, and wouldn't really be easy because the place has stairs and so on (any disabled sysadmins around that could protest against that?).

Solution: send someone else that has access to the place to reboot the damn machine. Not really.. he cannot go in because he is wearing bermudas! ARGH!

Exactly what I needed right now... NOT
And I have to complain that breaking a leg slipping on a wet sidewalk is completely unacceptable. *sigh*

What is your favorite day of the week?

I am not really sure what is my favorite one... maybe friday, wednesday is also nice, but I can assure you it's not tuesday. Tuesday sucks always, the day everything goes wrong! Ah! Almost forgot, sundays are depressing too... don't like them either.

Book: Show us the latest book you bought, borrowed or received.

That's not fair... you stay quite some time doing not much and then you decide to go back studying. You find some nice lato sensu post graduation course, you get selected and a week later you have a new job, you will have to move because the house is finally ready and your boyfriend is coming from another country to stay 3 weeks with you... To complicate a bit more it's Carnaval... Why can't I have the things in homeopathic doses EVER?

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!
