Did you know that geeks evolved from someone considered as a fool?

Being a geek is cool now, thanks Chuck, but it wasn’t always that way. In fact in the beginning being called a geek was the same as being called a fool, or possibly a circus performers who had a penchant for biting the heads off of chickens.

See even Alice Cooper didn’t start anything new even though people called him foolish for doing that during some of his stage shows.

Now however thanks to the team at Geeks are Sexy and Flowtown we have the definitive history of geekdom in a handy to read infographic.
