I was bored. I’m somewhere between stunned and despairing:
Outcast Genius
65 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 73% Dork
|
|
For The Record:
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 all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.
Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don’t care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).
Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.
Congratulations!

We live in a time where people are losing their jobs because of their age, as the soon to be introduced anti-ageist jobs would stop that from happening.
Of course, it hasn’t stopped it, it’s just hastened the demise of a lot of careers.
I’ve always thought people are employed on their ability to do a given job. Except managers, perhaps.
So I’ve been more than a little wound up over the hysteria about thin models.
Should they be banned from the cat walk?
I understand that the intention is to stop the body image problem that certain easily influenced members of the public apparently get because every once in a while a stick-thin woman walks down a cat walk.
I also understand that in doing so, the message “if your body doesn’t fit, you can’t work” is being broadcast.
What next?
Stopping fat blokes working in IT?
Dwarves working in panto?
Spotty teenagers working in McDonalds?
Jeez.

I didn’t, of course, mean to infer that the man was an incompetent buffoon.
It’s just that when I saw a large Union flag hanging upside down, I felt that it was rather in need of correcting.
Bearing in mind this was on the anniversary of VJ day (and not the somewhat more fitting VE day, but I can see how Europe and Japan are easily confused by the National Trust, especially at a site in the UK that not only had nothing to do with the War in Japan, but is also facing West. You know, away from Japan. Except if you go the long way around), I thought it only fair to point this out to the one person who seemed vaguely official looking.
He had a name badge.
And he was wearing a Union Flag shirt.
Perhaps pointing at it and saying “you could always use that as a guide to flying the national flag the right way around” wasn’t the most diplomatic approach, but heyho.
In his defence (and quite frankly how difficult is it to get a flag the right way around?) he said “it’s all been very rushed here.”
You mean that VJ day came as a big surprise? They certainly managed to get the leaflets and posters sorted out in time.
They don’t, I feel, have this problem in Libya.
