Top Ten Geek Girls
TurboPatrol writes "CNET have published a list of the Top Ten Girl Geeks throughout history. The winners include the elegant Ada Byron (the world's first computer programmer), Grace Hopper (invented the compiler) and Lisa Simpson (invented the perpetual motion machine — well, in the world of cartoons). Some of the entries are fascinating, for example Marie Curie apparently used to carry plutonium in her jacket pockets. Have they missed anyone out?" At least two entries on the list are stupid. I guess someone thought they were funny.
Are there really so few geek girls out there that they can't even make a TOP 10 list, and need to pad it out with Lisa Simpson and Paris "throw up in my face" Hilton ? How insulting can you get - if they really couldn't think of more than 8 real, live, girls, then even Trinity would have been a better choice.
Are there really that few women geeks to choose from?
No, it's just that geek guys know squat all about women.
How did Paris Hilton make the list, but Hedy Lamarr failed to? Lessee, an overmade up brainless skank with a Blackberry, or the most beautiful woman who has ever lived who invented the fucking technlogies that allow Blackberries to work?
Tough decision.

I agree!!!
