Nerd Index
Yes, well I knew it was true. People have been saying it, and I have been trying to fool people with my outfits, but let's face it:
I AM A NERD.
*sigh*
Yes, I'm using FireFox, but I didn't notice her Vulcan ears. Yes, I telnet, but I don't use Lynx (but yes, I do know what it is). Maybe it's because I said Fortran isn't a real programming language.
I guess I just want to differentiate between a SCIENCE nerd and a COMPUTER nerd. I don't wear pocket protectors and I don't get my jollies from a graphic calculator. I listen to Kutless and wear boxers. I don't worship Star Trek, but I do know what a Tribble and a Ferengi are. I play the piano and write poetry. I like to hack (with a hackey-sack) and I own a paintball gun. I love to preach but I hate dancing.
So what conclusion can be drawn?
I disagree.
UPDATE: Oh boy, here's another sad fact. Jessica got a 9%. What is she in for?!
UPDATE2: Another issue Fish brought up... what makes a nerd? There's the age old debate: Geek vs. Nerd. Here's the top ten differences between geeks and nerds (from http://www.csittl.com/old/97list58.html):
10. Geeks understand dirty jokes while nerds just laugh uncomfortably.
9. Skateboarders beat up nerds and football players beat up geeks.
8. Geeks read the "Top Ten" lists: Nerds write them.
7. Nerds know how to open their locker. Geeks know how to get shoved in.
6. Nerds tend more towards dweebs, while geeks are more like dorks.
5. Nerds wear wingtips, geeks wear them with bermuda shorts.
4. "Uh huh huh huh huuuuhhhh..." as opposed to "Snigger snigger snigger..."
3. Eyeglass repairs: duct tape versus electrical tape
2. There is a difference, but only after the 47th decimal place.
1. One word: Marketing.
