    Wow a young woman seems to figure out one of the greatest mysteries of our era, you make a snarky comment implying that she's fat. That must be why there are so few 'geek' women, as the boys apparently go strait for the gut when a lady seems smarter than they. Sadly there doesn't seem to be much discussion about this that isn't sophomoric banter.
