March 4 12:00 AM ET The BBook of Geek Literature Quiz By Brian Briggs This is the third of eight quizzes taken from the 8 pillars of geekdom (software, TV, literature, gaming, movies, science, hardware, Internet) found in The BBook of Geek. In the BBook, there are six facts listed for each of the 128 topics. Of those facts, only two are real. For the quiz, I've made it easier. You only have to tell if one fact is true or false. Answer carefully, your geekiness is at stake. H. P. Lovecraft - The Necronomicon in the movie Evil Dead takes its origins from H.P. Lovecraft.     True     False The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Google is working on an actual Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that they plan to give to the first interstellar astronaut.     True     False Robert A. Heinlein - Heinlein co-founded the Heineken brewery with fellow sci-fi writer Tom Eken.     True     False Arthur C.
