Geek off!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Some of us know too much about certain odd things. Whether we learn this info through our jobs or our hobbies and interests doesn't matter. I'm talking about facts that really aren't necessary to our daily lives, but that we will carry to our graves anyway.

Show your geek pride by posting those grains of esoterica here. I'll start with a few...

I know chunks of the Dewey Decimal system. Human Body is 610-620. Dinosaurs are 567.9. American History, 973. It's good for me to know, lame for anyone else.

The movie "Wayne's World" cost $14 million to make. In its first weekend it made $18 million. It was released on Feb 14th, 1992.

A-Wings are the fastest of the Wing series in short distances. They are not capable of lightspeed and carry one pilot, making them lightweight. Remember the guy that gets hit and goes kamakazi into a Star Destroyer? (how could you not? ) He was flying an A-Wing. B-Wings have heavy firepower, a 4 man crew, and can do lightspeed - as a result they are the slowest of the Wings. Y-Wings balance speed and firepower, with a 2 man crew. The X-Wings, however, are the most maneuverable, hence their large role in the Death Star trenches.

If I got any of that wrong I hope iSm will forgive me...it's been years since I've read my SW vehicles book.
