One of the oldest misconceptions about geeks is the notion that we all live in our mother's basements. And while this is nothing more than a horrible stereotype, like most...
There is a grain of truth.
So why?
Why would anyone would choose to live in a basement with spiders, the damp, and old copies of the T.V. Guide from 1978?
Because, it isn't a basment. It's a LAIR.
On a whole, other people suck.
This is not a stereotype as much as it is a firmly rooted and often proven fact. However, in the favor of the geek, other people are often both too lazy to walk down a flight of basement stairs, afraid of basements in general, or a welcoming mixture of both that keeps them away.
Basements are always dark, gloomy, spider filled, weird smelling places that contain things like C.H.U.D.. And while we are adults and know full well that C.H.U.D. are not real and do not exist, we are also burdened with the knowledge that they are VERY real and DO exist, and probably live in basement lairs.
