I am a geek because...

[SlamminSammy]

Although most of mine have been said, I'd like to add 2 more to the list.

1. I learned some Linear B and Egyptian hieroglyphs: not only the symbols, but the languages behind them too (Ancient Greek and Ancient Coptic respectively).

2. While my online banking uses 1024 bit RSA encryption, I use 3072 bit DH/DSS encryption. I have encrypted "hello" below in my public key (If anybody can derive my private key from that I'll give them a nickel ).
