The Tenth Daughter of Memory - If Geeks Ruled The World...

If Geeks Ruled The World...

If Geeks Ruled The World school uniforms would be costumes,
The scent of every woman would be comic book ink perfumes,
The light-up shoes of every child would have little rockets,
Our phones would be so small we wouldn't even need pockets!!

If Geeks Ruled The World we would have high-flying jetpacks,
Not guns, but phasers would line all our weapons racks,
We could teleport to everyplace around all the universes,
People would live forever so we wouldn't need any hearses!!

If Geeks Ruled The World Spock would be our ruler,
Kirk might be a Captain but Spock is way cooler,
Every single backpack would have little jets,
And every single person could have aliens as pets!!

If Geeks Ruled The World my poem'd be different, too,
It would have been written from another's point of view,
It probably wouldn't be so lame, that is probably true,
But the geeks ruling would be all that we knew,
And If Geeks Ruled The World (which they probably already do),
I'd write this telepathically, and I have no idea who
Would want to think of a different world that'd be so new,
Where Geeks wouldn't Rule The World, and we'd all be through,
So I nominate (as I said before) Spock from the Enterprise crew,
To be our ruler, now I bid you adieu!!

That's what would happen if Geeks Ruled The World!!

(Sorry it's so geeky haha)

Geek Arguments

Okay, I saw this and had to read it. 10 Most Famous Geek Arguments. My favorite part was in the third one -

3) The Book Vs. the Movie
While this particular argument isn't unique to geeks, it's certainly a source of endless flame wars. One good example is The Lord of the Rings -- ask almost any fan of the franchise and he or she will almost certainly have a firm opinion of the superiority of one or the other. Fans of the book tend to focus on what the movies leave out, and the things they change; fans of the movies roll their eyes at the endless pages of Elves singing goofy songs or descriptions of landscapes and prefer the film's tight plotting and action..Other good examples include the Harry Potter movies; movies based on Roald Dahl books such as The Witches, Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; any movie based on a Michael Crichton novel; The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; and most recently, Watchmen and Twilight (what? Teenaged girls can be geeks too).

I have to admit, I have had a few of these conversations. Not all of them, only a couple! Don't judge me like Ice Bear does... and my, does she judge. Does she judge...
