The Truth Behind The Geek (*creative liberties taken for the benefit of the reading audience)
Daniel, a man of very few words, is our first Swedish geek. Daniel, like many other geeks recently, is content to remain in his own time, refusing to tamper with the delicate fabrics of time and space. Really, I'm starting to think that I should change the question to: "If you were to ever leave your computer room, and this is completely hypothetical, what one thing would you take with you when you ventured out of that one safe place, that electronic womb that sustains your geeky life?" I'm certain that many geeks would choose sunblock!
