Last night, my husband (also a programmer) and I were laughing about the end of The Guild's first season, wherein Codex rescues Zaboo from his desperate attempt to avoid moving back in with his horrid mother by hanging himself...with a networking (CAT-5) cable. IIRC, my husband quipped something like, "That's about the geekiest way you can go." "No," I retorted, "a real geek would use a crossover cable." And scampered upstairs, giggling evilly, as he groaned at the awful pun.
Have I mentioned lately how awesome it is to be married to another geek?
