Duluth geeks apparently have worn out their welcome. The annual Geek Prom, held in Duluth since 2002, is moving to the Twin Cities.

The fifth annual Geek Prom will begin 7:30 p.m. April 22 at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul.

"The museum is really a perfect setting for this event, because when geeks party, they want to party with the skeleton of an extinct passenger pigeon," Geek Prom founder Paul Lundgren wrote in a news release.

Dork-a-rific activities include a video-game tournament in the museum's big-screen 3-D Cinema, a spaz-dancing contest and cow eye dissection. Seriously.
