Geek Test

Signs Your Spending Too Much Time On Your Computer

11. You tilt your head 90 degrees to smile.

10. You try to switch views while driving.

9. You wait for Linux to crash before taking a break.

8. You use PayPal to give your kids their allowance.

7. You miss your friends when you're away from the computer.

6. Just before the accident everything goes blue and you see "YOU.EXE caused a General Protection Fault in module YOURLIFE.EXE at 0011:000000a0".

5. You have monitor "tan".

4. Your spouse has to IM you for dinner.

3. You start using expressions like AFAIK or LMFAO during face-to-face conversations.

2. You set a power supply up in your bedroom, so you can fall asleep to the familiar hum of the fan.

1. You're arrested for punching monkeys at the zoo

There's several "time killer" games out there.
The last one I remember going around was a Polar Bear hitting Penguins like base *****.
Theres several out there, punching monkeys is probably one as well.

I love those games. You should add another one on there though.

If you have more posts than the owner of the site, you spend to much time on the computer.

I didn't really get this one:

9. You wait for Linux to crash before taking a break.

You'd **** near never take a break?

Not a big Linux fan, but it does not crash near as often as Bill's package.

Elfbowling was one that went around a while back about Christmas time - I think I still have the exec on my old laptop.

I also liked the game?/timekiller that gave you an arsenal of weaponry (with realistic sound) that you could use to blow up stuff on your screen with. I need to drag that one back out.....

Found it a good stress relief to be able to punch virtual holes in e-mails from time to time.
