Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer?

I racked up a perfect score. I find that disturbing, actually.

  1. Maureen McQ Says:

    7 out of 10–what that says, I don’t know.

  2. Rory Harper Says:

    It is a pretty stupid little questionnaire, let’s be honest. But, for some reason, it tickled my fancy. Maybe because of how serial-killer’ish some of the geeks looked.

  3. Madeleine Robins Says:

    7 out of 10 here too.

  4. Steven Gould Says:

    7/10 also.

  5. Rory Harper Says:

    You guys obviously need to do a little more studyin’ on your geeks. Or your cereal killerz.

  6. Steven Gould Says:

    The first time I took this (about a year ago) I did even worse.

  7. Casey Hamilton Says:

    8/10 — not as scary as Rory, but scarier than Unca Stevie. Not sure what that says, either.

  8. Bradley Denton Says:

    Another 7/10.

    Very disappointing. I, of all people, should have done better.

  9. Rory Harper Says:

    You were our last hope, Obi Wan Bradley….

  10. Caroline Spector Says:

    7/10 — good grief.

  11. Casey Hamilton Says:

    You’re telling me that of you three guys, the only one scarier than me is Rory? Bradley, I’m shocked! I was SURE that you’re scarier than me.

  12. Rory Harper Says:

    Casey — It could be that they’re lying, to lull us into a false sense of security…. Bradley probably has all their pictures tattooed on his tummy, for instance.

    …The serial killers that is, not the geeks. Stevie’s got the geeks, probably…Or maybe I do…

  13. Casey Hamilton Says:

    Yup, Bradley’s got the serial killers, all right. As for the geeks, well, I’ve always thought of Stevie as being at least a tad geekier than you, Rory.
