Thanks, I didn't know that. I've always seen it as neuron, but you're right, they're both correct. :)

There's a toned-down freak show currently in operation in Coney Island, but its appeal is limited. Apparently American Idol, Britney, and Amy are too much competition.http://www.coneyisland.com/sideshow.shtml

Thanks Poli, I honestly didn't know this meaning of geek before now.
