Geek alert: Fab’s History Boys test your knowledge

Who would you do?

Fab magazine’s adorable History Boys, Jeremy Willard and Michael Lyons, are taking their column off the page and onto the stage. The dynamic duo will be at Toronto’s Videofag on Jan 16 to present an informative and interactive presentation on gays in history.

Unglaze those eyes — this will be fun. There is talk of sex. And you can fantasize about historical figures or about the hot geeky guy or girl next to you.

“It’s also a sexy nerd-themed event,” Lyons says. “So. We’re telling people to come dressed up like they’re coming to school to seduce their hot teacher.”

To get a taste of what to expect, check out the below video interview with the boys and take their sex-history pop quiz. Leave your answers in our comments section below the video. And see you on Jan 16.
