How To Tell If You're A Nerd:)

[MediaSlayer]

1) If you find yourself intentionally making typing mistakes when creating a post just to fit in...You might be a nerd.

2) The following is a poem that describes the invention of what would later become what we think of now as the "internet" Just so you know the Tim guy won a nobel prize or something(I forgot his last name) for doing this.Here it is:
In the beginning, Tim created the HyperText Markup Language. The Internet was without form and void, and text was upon the face of the monitor and the Hands of Tim were moving over the face of the keyboard. And Tim said, Let there be links; and there were links. And Tim saw that the links were good; and Tim separated the links from the text. Tim called the links Anchors, and the text He called Other Stuff. And the whole thing together was the first Web Page.
Ok If you both understood all the terminology and you thought it was funny...You might be a nerd.
If you just thought it was funny - you are in danger. REformat your psyche at once - there is still hope
If you didn't think it was anything but lame - You can crash at my house anytime you want and I will burn some cool sh*t to take with you when you leave.(in my world everyone has a computer)

3) If you notice a thread wherein the posters are posting about a very passionate, controversial topic but you find that you're only interested in correcting their grammatical mistakes...You might be nerd.

4) And finally If you tell you're girlfriend she should suck your ^$&^ by "default" ...You might be a nerd.
I'll be signing autographs in the lobby.
Edit: Doing this is okay though

Staring, gazing into screens not skies nor eyes nor faces.
Touching keys and fondling mice, searching cyber-spaces.
Once were glued to TV tubes now its our computer.
Smaller, it fits in our lap, its noises are much cuter.
Post offices are obsolete, libraries silent tombs now.
It's our right, get out of sight, go visit other rooms now
Hooked up to the whole wide world theres no need to roam now.
No need to go anywhere, we're not alone at home now.
We all dream of genies at our beck and call
Power, access and control, wishing for it all.
Intellect means diddysquat for hardcore software users.
A chip can check Kasparov, geniuses are losers.
Only an invention, such a useful tool.
There's no time left to teach Shakespeare in the public school.
But homework's fun, work's a snap, love lurks in cyber-spaces.
Staring gazing into screens, not skies nor eyes nor faces.
Not skies nor eyes nor faces.

Does this mean you are a nerd chalice?

I suppose I am a nerd.
If that is what it is to scrutinse things beyond their value.
Some of the discussions in movie world are ultranerd stuff.
I can't help it.
I'm sitting here at the minute reading Alan Moore's Top 10 and it has so many cross-references and little nuances that you have to be a nerde to understand it.
Nerd was a word made up by thickos.

I thought of s'more:
1) If you ever got confused over pie (like you thought a person meant they hate 3.146395799466300708 when they said"I hate pie") ...You might be a nerd.

2) If the people at the computer store know you by name...You might be a nerd.

3) If you find yourself bragging to your friends about your "big hard drive"...You might be a nerd.

4) If you warn people not to "mess anything up" before they use your computer you are anal and also...You might be a nerd.

5) If you've ever talked to your computer...You might be a nerd.

6) If you try to use your computer as a "selling point" while trying to pick up women at the bar...You might be a nerd.

7) If you find yourself unwilling to break up with a sh*tty girlfriend just because her computer is Phat...You might be a nerd.

8) And finally, if you prefer using the computer to sex...You need to be shot like a dog & You are a nerd!
