Geeks hold nerd auction

GEEKS AT Washington State University are holding a "nerd auction" where they sell their skills in return for a make over and a date.

The move, run by the Linux Users Group, allows sorority girls to buy a nerd to sort out their computer woes.

In return the girls will help them spice themselves up a bit.

It started out as an effort to recruit more women into computer science programs and the nerds asked a public relations class to run a project to help them out.

The trainee spinners suggested the geeks work with specific groups such as sororities which have a good social network.

Of course it is not clear what the geeks will do if the sorority girls run Windows. They will probably run from the room screaming.
