For every possible scenario, women preferred the non-geeky space.

PERSONALLY, I think they need a bigger sample size than 215 students. Speaking as a woman who has a Fullmetal Alchemist action figure, a ninja duck, and a DRD on her desk.

Note to self: bring more geeky items for desk from geeky collection at home.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

On Tuesday night's Colbert Report, Alicia Keys mentioned that she had been on the Cosby Show when she was four. Someone over at TWOP linked to the clip--it was the leg-riding ep! I had no clue that little kid was Alicia Keys!

My desk display doesn't have too much in the way of stuff, but I do have a springy male hula dancer, an Animal (the muppet) magnet, some Mardi Gras beads, and a glass pig that I got at a pottery outlet in Williamsburg, VA when I was still in college.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have a The Maxx action figure. A picture of Oz, one of my sisters and one of me and Jon. 3 comic drawings by my friend, puppet Angel, a COD: MW2 countdown clock and a couple of posters from our favorite Rockabilly/Dive-The Doublewide.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My desk isn't very geeky. I have a Mr. Incredible action figure, some models of old cars, and an F4U Corsair. And a picture of Zabriskie Point in Death Vally.

Coding and Sleeping

I don't have much for decoration. A lava lamp, an Atari 400 with a deceptive "Intel Inside" sticker, two posters from The Metropolitan Opera, boxes of various products I've worked on, and baseball caps from various companies I've worked for.

I guess ita is right to eat them: Proof that goats cannot be trusted

Professor Eustace P. Toffeynuts III, Ph.D., D.D.T., L.S.D., has produced a very important treatise on the freaky nature of goat eyes, their relationship to the freaky nature of octopus eyes and why both animals are clearly in league with Satan.

Goat Eye Syndrome is characterized by eyes afflicted with horrific horizontal pupils similar to those of cephalopods such as octopi, squid, or cuttlefish. The pupils of these beasts are approximately the shape of a kidney bean, but instead of dividing the eye vertically, in the manner of noble, trustworthy beasts such as tigers, bobcats, and snakes, the GES pupils transfix the eye horizontally. This is disgusting. The only other type of animal to display such disgusting, vomit-inducing eyes are the previously mentioned cephalopods (which have a long association with death from the murky depths and Cthulhu) and Kermit the Frog, who is a felt puppet created by Jim Henson, and should not be considered an example of an accurate representation of frog physiology.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I don't think I can compare my work environment to a typical office. I do have my OMWF poster on the wall (along with a ton of theater posters). But I also have a rack of costumes in the back, 4 big plastic bins with puppets, hats (including wizard and pirate), various props, etc. And, a big plastic bag full of stuffed animals including a 10 foot snake.
