    Btw, do you realise that those who know how much time you spend on the computer think YOU are a geek too!

    Perhaps we have a different opinon as to what a geek is. If only we could grab the attention of those very clever intellectual types who are busy disscusing Undergoung education or what ever the hell they are on about over on that other thread.

    What about it Mike, JR, Mr Hitcher, PT, can you spare some of your vast wisdom and define a "Geek" for us ?

    Ta for the heads-up, Dave. Here you go.

    geek n. Slang

    1. A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
    2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
    3. A carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.

    Our word geek is now chiefly associated with student and computer slang; one probably thinks first of a computer geek. In origin, however, it is one of the words American English borrowed from the vocabulary of the circus, which was a much more significant source of entertainment in the United States in the 19th and early 20th century than it is now. Large numbers of traveling circuses left a cultural legacy in various and sometimes unexpected ways. For example, Superman and other comic book superheroes owe much of their look to circus acrobats, who were similarly costumed in capes and tights. The circus sideshow is the source of the word geek, “a performer who engaged in bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.” We also owe the word ballyhoo to the circus; its ultimate origin is unknown, but in the late 1800s it referred to a flamboyant free musical performance conducted outside a circus with the goal of luring customers to buy tickets to the inside shows. Other words and expressions with circus origins include bandwagon (coined by P.T. Barnum in 1855) and Siamese twin.

    Any track is better than Pukekohe and the Aucklanders will probably crash anyway as they won't know how to do left hand corners
