Closet Slashdotters: The 'Intellectually Curious'

An anonymous reader writes "Slashdotters are certified geeks, but apparently there's a bunch of other people out there who are very interested in science, technology, politics and culture but they don't want to be known as geeks. A media consulting firm called OMD did a study for the company that owns Space.com and LiveScience. They conclude that 60 million Americans can be called "intellectually curious." Intellectually, I'm curious what that makes the rest of them."

    If you had been curious enough to read the article, you'd know that the percentage was based on a particular demographic age range including 150 million persons and that 60 million was 40% of this population. Seriously though, there is no need for you to slit your wrists simply becuase you are part of the apathetic masses.
