- The top eleven signs that a geek probably made your lunch.
'11. It's served to you by a roomba.' The possibility of having lunch (or any meal) served via Roomba gets my inner geek juices flowing. Plus, if any of it spills along the way it will most likely be cleaned up on the next cleaning voyage.

Good morning. Just a second while I get this connection to work. Do I press this button here? Function-F7? No, that's not right. Hmmm. Maybe I'll have to reboot. Hold on a minute. Um, my name is Abe Lincoln and I'm your president.

- The top eleven geek Winter Olympic events (if they actually existed).
8. Commercial Jump - Olympians are given 2 hours of Winter Olympic programming from NBC, and must get through it as fast as they can on a TiVo without missing any of the actual content. Remote control hacks are legal.
