The Geek, of course, doesn't believe any of that crap; on the internet, no one knows you're a dog, according to ancient meme. In any case this section allows you to list something about what you look like, conceivably for dating purposes or such nonsense. Also it lets us start off with 'abcd' for age/beard/clothing/dimensions.
### A = Age

The only way to become a true geek is through practice and experience. To this end, your age becomes an important part of your geekiness. Use the qualifiers below to show your age (in Terran years). Base 10 , wise guys.

## ENTERTAINMENT
Geeks love to play. No matter their age, all geeks enjoy playing. Of course, the object of this entertainment takes a myriad of different forms. What is it that pushes a geek to play? Is it simply a desire to relive their childhood? Or perhaps there is a piece of geeky genetic code that requires intellectual stimulation. Who knows, maybe it's a Freudian thing…
