Really, a geek would actually wear a t-shirt like that? It sounds a bit like someone who is a computer neophyte wearing (non-ironically) a t-shirt that says:

  CTRL+ALT+DEL
  I'm a computer expert

A techie might. A geek would have something more like "ΓΙΚ".

You are confusing geek with Greek.

No self-respecting geek would misuse a sigma where an epsilon belongs.

Phonetically, I'm think it should be an iota, not an epsilon, though either is far closer than sigma.

Now that we can nitpick: "a iota", not "an iota" :)

It's hard not to read gSSk there. I scratch my head.
