Who is your geek crush?

I've got two: Bill Nye, and Brian Cox.

Bill, because I've had a crush on him since I was about 6 years old. He went from being my favorite kids show host to being on my favorite TV channel, the Science Channel. He's also just awesome.

As for Brian.... well, he's cute, a physicist (always an instant win in my book), and come on! That accent? Mop me off the floor why don't you!

Who are your geeky crushes?

Edit: this whole discussion is awesome. I guess I'm surprised that there are such a variety of crushes, but at the same time I'm not surprised.:)

She's definitely a geek. She's a math major summa cum laude.

I will second Brian Cox. I adore him.

As an amusing side note, I just started googling hot male scientists and found this hilarious picture of Phil Plait from a skepdude calendar.

@ Jewelz - Okay, thanks for the best laugh I am going to have today. I really don't think anything is going to top that picture.

They do... but only after they have taken out a measuring tape to document who has the biggest telescope. ;)

@ Jennifer - lmao! Oh wow, and I thought nothing was going to top Jewelz's picture of Phil Plait and his erect telescope. We just need to put your caption under that picture and it becomes an ultimate WIN!

@ Alice - Oh, you so totally stole my man. I wanted to put him on this thread, but no matter how hard I tried, I simply could not classify him as a geek lol.
