The Geek Code!

This other day I was explaining to one of my friends about the Geek Code. They are a bunch of rules which are supposed to be followed by any person who is inclined to geeky-ness. Of course, it's not at all necessary to adhere to these rules, but its good to stick by them, as I do. Well, as Gibbs says in NCIS - "Everyone needs a set of rules to live by" , so here are mine (followers welcome):-

• When in doubt, speak geek.
• When the computers don't work and the computer technicians won't work, fix them yourself.
• Always speak the truth.
• Always be respectful and polite, no matter what the provocation.
• Take all possible opportunities to get the revenge of the geek, while maintaining very polite language.
• Use vocabulary and implacable will to intimidate the person you talk.
• Be willing to stand up to gang-leaders, by using your height to stare down upon them.
• Don't ask, so that they won't have to tell.
• Keep more email addresses than pants.
• Respect technology.

This much for now. Over time, I will add more as they become apparent.
