Superman, Batman, David Blaine and others are popular among the ones who are not too keen on science/computers :roll:

It seems to be due the fact that geeks are only missing the _easy_ part of becoming Spicerman. We are only waiting for the Spider bite! :D, while non geeks still have to learn physics, chemistry, Math, etc ;)
