Illustration Friday: geeky

It is official and everyone knows it! You want your child to grow up to be a geek because the geeks make all the money! This is your step by step guide to raising your child to be a geek.

DISCLAIMER: The author of this book feels that in order to be "responsible" he should inform his readers that he has no intent of raising his children to be geeks. He is raising his children to be "responsible" celebrities. The odds of raising a "responsible" celebrity are very small and not recommend for the general public.

This is an UnBook and will never be at a bookstore near you.

This is great. I think my parents must be raising us to be geeks we celebrate PI day every March 14. (3.14) It sounds smart but it's really just a good reason to eat a lot of pie. (I mean A LOT of pie)

As a responsible celebrity myself, I will agree with Mr. Franson's comments. It is not an easy road to hoe and he is to be applauded for his tenacity.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to meet with my parole officer.
