Do you have what it takes to be Suvudu’s Grand Poohbah Alpha Geek
for Life? Well it’s time put your geek where your mouth is…IF YOU CAN! (And congrats to Tillie S. who rocked the casbah of yesterday’s geekery.)
But
first a warning: yes, you could Google for some of these answers, but
then, deep down, you’ll know you’re a bad person. However, you might
win a free copy of The Geeks’ Guide to World Domination. So you’ll have to balance total loss of self worth with free geek schwag. It’s up to you.
Email
your answers to info@suvudu.com. Don’t comment your answers or you will
allow slackers to water down the winner’s pool, thus decreasing your
chances of receiving said geek schwag (and you’ll get moderated,
deserve a spanking, be summarily executed, etc.). You have until
10:00pm EST tonight. Then try again tomorrow. There’s a free book for
each day’s winner, every day this week. The week’s overall highest
scorer will earn the title of Suvudu’s Grand Poohbah Alpha Geek for
Life (oh, and a $50 iTunes gift certificate). This GPAGFL will almost
certainly get his or her face on the cover of Time Magazine*.
