Seducing a geek is an art

Here is a brief list of how to seduce a geek guy:

1- Wear a tee-shirt from XKCD
2- Know what 42 means
3- Tell him you like when you're just the 10 of you.
4- Never admit you use Windows (Mac is OK, Linux is better)
5- When you're about to tell your love, say "sudo love me" (it will never fail)
6- Don't say HTML is a programming language
7- Sing him Saint Seiya's song (even better when in Japanese)
8- Either be a super hot blond or mega ugly female. Inbetween won't captivate their attention.
9- Watch Battle Star Galactica
10- Play WOW or Pong


And seducing a Mac geek is a whole different story. Maybe in another post...

The Chicago-style pizza was invented in 1943


More precisely at the Uno pizzeria in Chicago.
This pizza was very popular during World War II because it could feed a lot people and it was not costing much to make it.
Chicago-style pizza has a buttery and heavy crust that could be up to 3'' tall (at the edges), a bit more of cheese than regular pizzas and A LOT chunky tomato sauce. The dough basically acts as a bowl.
Ingredients: usually the oil used for the dough, is olive oil. In the traditional version, mozzarella cheese is used. Then, generally, ham or Italian sausage with mushrooms and onions are added. All is topped with heavy chunky tomato purée.

From Wikipedia's article about Chicago-style pizza.
