Let's Get Geeky According to Merriam-Webster online a geek is : 1 : a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake 2 : a person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked 3 : an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity <computer geek> Well, if you find yourself clocking in for work each evening and heading out to the center ring to bite a snake's head off, this may not interest you.

Kids Today and Their Newfangled Contraptions Okay I admit it. I am not an expert on social media. Oh the shame! Actually I don't use it at all. I don't have a Facebook account, or Twitter account, or My Space, or Linkedin, or Pinterest. But guess who has dozens of accounts across all of these and more social media sites. Mensa does. I was stunned. Have you seen all of the information, contacts, and events listed all over the internet? You should. Get a look today at the thousands of people, places, and things you are currently missing out on. You could be one click away from the opportunity of a lifetime.
We Have A SIG For That Mensa does a great job of not only bringing people together, but also providing like-minded people a platform to connect with one another. Mensa's S.I.G.s (Special Interest Groups) are a great way to reach out to others just like you who share an interest in history, science, scuba diving, cruises, cars, music, or an enormous variety of topics. S.I.G.s really embody what makes Mensa not just strong and vibrant, but unique. Not only does Mensa have no intention of influencing the way you think, we will help you find others who think the same way you do.
