Thanks to Captain Nemo, I've found and taken the Geek Test. My score is thus:
- 34.31953% - Total Geek
Beat that (I'm not sure what I am proud of there, but so what)! Of course, Nemo also posts some follow up geek questions that weren't included on the list, (my answers in bold):

--You know who "Gully Foyle" is. No
