Difference Between Nerd and Geek

Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?

On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.

On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.

I thought geeks were the folks who bit the heads off of live chickens in circuses?

Kind of like Ozzy Osbourne and biting heads off of bats.

Nerds, on the other hand, are my favorite candy.
