Hey, it’s the law. So if one walked into a room full of actual geeks dressed in geek attire (such as a calculator on the belt, horn-rim glasses and a pocket protector) the alpha geek might look at one’s costume and comment: You are lying!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>spike <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
