Who's a Geek then

Me for one

found this site and couldn't resist

had to buy a retro slide rule had one as a kid at school and still think they are nifty

http://www.thinkgeek.com/

Also can some one tell me why I can buy two pair of Levi 501's direct from the states plus a belt plus freight and even after conversion it's still cheaper than 1 Pair from Just Jeans

who'd buy local anymore

I've had this 12" one since about 4th form at school. At that time it was the pinnacle of geekdom.
I can't find the pocket one with the leather case I'd bought a few years before that.

It's a collector's item who knows when all the power fails they'll come in handy

I've bought many items from think geek for many years, it's great for getting t-shirts that get second looks
