Random geeky things you've done

[Craterus]

As a kid, I knew:

Everyone's birthday
Everyone's phone number (home, mobile and email addresses where applicable)
Countries of the world and their capitals
States in America and their capitals
Football teams, nicknames and stadiums
All the Pokemon
James Bond films, villains, everything

Yeah, pretty geeky.

What about now ?

I've still got a good hold on birthdays, email addresses, countries&capitals, American states.

On the upside, I think I could now name all the presidents (might fail on correct order).

I have looked up and down that list of capitals.. but I could not find the name of good, dear Vienna, Wien, die Stadt unserer Traueme; please tell me that it is there, and that I was searching too quickly.

The Very Weird of me...
Name all the Elements, most of its isotopes, melting & freezing points, atomic structures including the irregulars, and most physical properties... but that's the drill

5000 pieces Jigsaw Puzzle.

Took me 7 months to make when I was 18. I had to make a custom table for it and a second 'partial assembly table'

It now adorns our company headquarters

Even after so many years sexy girls that come to our company, in voices filled with lust, ask what undeniably sexy beast made that jigsaw puzzle...

...well no they don't

i don't think knowing all the pokemon is that geeky since when it came out every kid was obsessed with it. I on the other hand am sad to say i knew all the types of every pokemon and there specific weakness and which pokemon was best suited to counter it, as well as all the moves they could learn, including which move only the evolved forms could learn, i also knew where best to catch each pokemon, and how to train them so they were really strong in only one ability

i still pull it out every now and then and have a go, but i have lost my pokedexical knowledge by now.

something really geeky i did as a kid though was building popstick models, the house was covered in them, fruit bowls, key racks, chopping boards, spice racks, you name it i built it. At one point I even made a life size man model, but the dogs chewed it up

everyone should know that. If they study in school that is.

Same here.

I was obsessed with writing as a kid, so much so that I would actually sit and read the dictionary. (Hey, I won the state spelling bee and went to nationals.)

Lot of good that did me when I was introduced to beer.
