In the tradition of the original Computer-Geek Code and the
Simpsons Geek Code, I bring you the first version of the Futurama
Geek Code. Geek codes are typically used to fill in .sig e-mail
signature files. [For more information on appending a .sig file
to your e-mails, consult your mail software.] Creating your unique
code block is simple, just combine the character symbols and
categorical symbols with the appropriate modifiers. You do not
have to use every category symbol, just pick the ones that
describe/apply to you. An example appears at the end of this
file. If your character, category, or modifier is not listed,
suggest it! <th...@zebra.net>

Okay, let's see....
ROBOT
{BE+++/++//x! ....}
Wait a minute- how do I "break up" the string of symbols, like "punctuation"
to distingish "x" from, say, "/x" or whatever? I'm confused. I've always
wondered what all those geek codes meant. Darn. I guess I'm not geeky
enough. :[
Later....

They should call it greek code instead of geek code, because it's a
bitch to decypher, and it's hardly worth the trouble.
