    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.

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