Are male Tech-Geeks more corpulent?!

What made me think about this topic, was a combobox of shirt-sizes I came across during my speaker registration for TechEd 2007 in Barcelona, last November.

Why are there T-Shirts in sizes until X-X-X-X-X (5!) L ??

Well.. one possible reason: all shirts were smaller than usual. It turned out XL fitted me perfectly (while it is normally not my size).

  Don't think that tech-greeks are more corpulent... I think that's just a joke from a programmer. There are a lot of "jokes" from programmers... (e.g. think of Google Maps Directions: "Swim across the Atlantic Ocean") http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/03/google-maps-shows-funny-directions.html ;-)
