You may well know that there is something of a disagreement between my wife and I about the difference between a geek and a nerd.
The case for the defence recently presented a Venn diagram that showed ‘geeks’ and ‘nerds’ with an intersection ‘people who argue about the difference between geeks and nerds’.

The first victim? Some thoughts for a collapse laptop stand…
