Pundits and observers dispute the relationship of the terms nerd and geek to one another. Some view the geek as a less technically skilled nerd. Some factions maintain that "nerds" have both technical skills and social competence, whereas geeks display technical skills while socially incompetent; others hold an exactly reversed view, with geek serving as the socially competent counterpart of the socially incompetent nerd, and call themselves geeks with pride (compare Geekcorps, an organization that s ...

Seven film - Greed and Gluttony. The story unfolds in a rainy non-descript American metropolis that (despite inclement conditions) is most likely Los Angeles given its proximity to a characteristically Californian desert. Drawing from the worst aspects of urban life -- crime, congestion, inner-city decay etc., the dystopian atmosphere lends support to the biblical nature of the film's premise and could possibly be a reference to Sodom and Gomorrah; symbolizing a sinful environment where depravity, avarice ...

Dramatic depictions of good nerds typically have them as good-hearted people who wish harm on no one, but whom their obvious intellectual inferiors bully. Many nerds in fiction play roles as supporting characters who provide valuable sources of information or useful skills for the heroes. Nerds as lead characters often have a secret identity as a superhero; so a put-upon person has a wonderful secret. Nerds in supporting roles often feature as technological geniuses who invent or repair plot devices that enable the main characters to move to ...

Scar was the younger brother of the lion king Mufasa, and the uncle of Simba. Scar was jealous of Simba's position as the next king of the Pride Lands, so he plotted to overthrow his brother and nephew. To do this, Scar recruited three hyenas — Shenzi, Banzai and Ed — who gladly did the scheming lion's bidding for food. At first, there were only three hyenas, but eventually Scar gathered a full army of them. The first attempt by the hyenas to kill Simba was foiled by Mufasa, so Scar lined up his ranks of troops and promised that, in the new era in w ...

The gentrification of once run-down inner-city areas, coupled with the staging of pride parades in these areas, has resulted in the increased visibility of gay communities. Parades such as Sydney's Mardi Gras attract significant investment and tourist revenues, and cities are beginning to realize, firstly, that the acceptance (or promotion) of lesbian and gay culture is fast becoming a sign of urban "sophistication," and secondly, that gay-oriented events, such as pride parades, the World Outgames and the Gay Games, are potentially lucrative ...

In the anime he is the second youngest Homunculus. With the appearance of a Seven to eleven year-old child, he is exceptional as he possesses the ability to perform alchemy (unlike the other Homunculi), and is unique even among most alchemists in that he can transmute without a transmutation circle. He can do this because of his right arm and left leg, which originally belonged to Edward Elric. He can also fuse his body's form with other objects, whether or not the objects are organic. In one instance, Wrath accidentally fused himself to the ...

A slick character, a ladies' man and all-around arrogant fellow, Greed is the ancient Homunculus known as the "Ultimate Shield." He is able to make himself impervious to harm by rearranging the bonds between the carbon atoms in his body and changing his skin into an unnamed carbon-based substance (presumably black diamond or carbon steel), which gives him the appearance of a black-skinned monster. Interestingly, when in this form he does not move his mouth when he speaks, but does when he laughs. Unlike the other Homunculi (except Env ...

It should be further noted that the "autism as a world view, and way of thinking" is sometimes associated with aptitude for technical pursuits. Some people see geeks and nerds as having some characteristics in common with autistic people. However, many autistic people have difficulty with the amount of group collaboration needed in the workforce; many believe the strong desire for "team-working" makes things very difficult for autistics. Some autistics who have actually held down a technical position report that, though they are often ...
