Mmmm... quite intersting that i got a bunch of Geeks, Nerds here

So Civilization builders, I want to hear you peer tutoring on X guy [Gril?] was a Nerd, almost a Geek. But then he left both...is it better for him and how he [She??] can return to just a Geek only or a Nerd only. Enlightment required!

P.S: brainy boys/girls; That "being" treid eating books and having two eggs and a milk cup at breakfast, but it does not work to restore anything. He is drowning...drowning! :cry: :cry: :cry:


One of us has finally lost our marbles.
