How Big A Nerd Are You?

Im a pretty big nerd. Sci-Fi, fantasy, I love it all. Ive read quite a few nerd questionnaires over the years, so I thought I would be fun to whip up one of my own. All of these questions are off the top of my head and prove nothing save that I store a lot of useless information.

Im sure you can find all these answers on the internet, but go through them once and see how well you do. And if you have any real good questions (nothing too esoteric, ie, they should involve a commonly read/watched series), let me know.

Answers will be posted tomorrow.

Cheers,
-Jason

I know the answers to numbers three to seven. And I have a suspicion on number ten. Yay me.

Or should that be sad me?

Yup, definately sad.

Yes, it is kind of my "specialist subject." How ever could you tell? ;) hehe.
