Who is the oldest geek in the world?
 |
Whilst reading some 'techno speak' from a self confessed geek, the thought occurred from the depth of some unknown source, about the origins of the word geek and indeed, what happens to them when they grow old?
Is there a grandfather of them all, out there on some distant porch, rocking away the golden years and wondering what the young whippet snappers were up to these days?
Can you, or you or even you, answer this question?
