This One's For The Nerds...

[Erinome]

I find that I often get poked at by my friends for being a "nerd". What is it to be a nerd? Now, I know the people who are teasing me about this love me, and don't mean it in any really negative way. They're just teasing me, and actually I kinda like it. Better than being called a dumb ass, ya know.

I think if you're going to get teased for something, it should be something like being a nerd. I want my children to become nerds. I think nerds are fun to be around, and interesting people to know.

So, this thread is for the nerds!

















Talk nerdy to me, people!

I'm going to have to mention that the red tunic in zelda is still worn on land. It is usually for a fire dungeon... geez... they should get shit right.

Conversation I had with my very nerdy Jew boy (who is atheist, btw) after some retard on G+ couldn't quite figure the whole atheist/cultural thing. Hint: the correct answer to my question according to lay people and Jews is "you (as the mother) are, so your kids would be." But no, a true nerd would not be satisfied with that.

Me: Wait...if we're both half-Jews...if we had kids...what would that make them?

Him: So each of us is 50% Jew. Statistically, any offspring would be an average of 50% Jew, but the possible range is 0-100%. The 95% confidence interval on the range of how Jewish they are is probably something like 49.9%-50.1% though (there's so much splicing going on during meiosis that it's very unlikely you'd pass on something significantly different than half from each parent).

My heart went pitter patter. (I realize no one cares, lol) And then he went on to explain to a coworker (who actually asked the stupid question) why the days change length throughout the year and that if you graph it, it looks like a sine wave... I might be in love.

Also, he rocks my socks in Star Wars trivia.

I wish I knew more nerd men.

I wish I knew more nerd men.

I know too many.

I wish I knew more nerd men.

They beat the hell out of any other kind.

Nah, most of them can't seem to find a can of deodorant. I'm a nerd, but a little hygiene and self-respect goes a long way

A little poem for you nerds! *ahem*
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
If you're a Star Wars fan,
May The Force be with you.

[Erinome]

Lol! Fantastic. And may the force be with you, as well.

I look forward to May 4th every year so I can tell people "May the fourth be with you."...

Sure you weren't hanging out with dorks or geeks?
