What's the nerdiest thing about you?

:dubious:

Once hot chicks invade a nerdy thing to giggle about how nerdy they are, it ceases to be nerdy.

Now, if you were a theorycrafter…

I don’t think I’m a particularly nerdy person, but most people seem to react that way when I start discussing the physics of bowling.

I’m not hot. I don’t giggle. I have [del]12[/del] 13 85s (forgot about the DK I just dinged). And, I never cop to being a girl outside of my own guild, where it’s hard to avoid, because Vent.

Does that help? :eek: :stuck_out_tongue:

DAMN! That’s nerdy, but also cool!

All I got is that I’m a furry.

My husband speaks to our 8-month old son exclusively in Latin, and has since the baby’s birth. He’s spent years training for this: hours of study a day, immersion conferences, and a collection of Latin children’s literature that pretty much the complete set–much of which he had to order from overseas. At least 70 titles, if you count the Asterix as “children’s lit”.

But it doesn’t get nerdy until you see all the preliminary work he’s done to translate roleplaying systems into Latin. It’s got to be ready to go when the boy is ready to roll up his first character, see.

So I guess the most nerdy thing about me is who I married.

Not sure if this is nerdy or just lame but I used to live under a flight path and really got into watching the planes land, what direction they were coming from (it changed and I always tried to find out what the factors were), trying to ID the airline/plane model etc. It was my dream to see an A380 and although one has landed here in Montreal, a few times I think, I never saw it. May have heard it once. This then led me to aviation videos online. I can now pretty much armchair quarterback any landing, takeoff etc., with the best of them. My favourites are go arounds. Love them. Love a person who does the responsible thing. :slight_smile: Goddamnit I almost squee at go arounds. And yes, I know that’s odd and that in some circles go arounds can (sometimes) be seen as an overly conservative move.

Also love to watch the Ballet of the Snow Plows. It’s so … organized! So precise! It makes me feel warm inside.

Been there, do that. Managed to get a couple of articles to GA status solo, would to get another one to FA if only someone would produce a table editor that was worth a damn.

70 articles in my watch list.

I have a tattoo of the Utah teapot. In wireframe.

How are these attributes ‘nerdy’? :confused:

For me I’d have to say it’s probably the fact that my T.V.-when on-is constantly tuned to either PBS or cable news.

^^ Ooh, re: this. The dial on my radio has not left the public radio station for something like three years. Aside from that, I’m only mildly nerdy, and don’t have any extraordinary tales of getting a bunsen burner set for my birthday. I wear glasses and compulsively edit everything I read (except the things I write, oddly), but I’ve never taken a day off work to play video games. That kills me, by the way.

I like wearing suspenders. I have half a dozen different colors and styles.

3.14159265358979323846 from memory. It only counts if you demonstrate.

Yeah, but Google gives me 85,900 results for that number string. Heck, you can even find a million digits of pi here (note - direct link to large webpage).

Wow. A Montaigne fan? He was raised speaking only Latin until he was 6.

I can’t compete on sheer nerdiness vs the posts here. I’m impressed.

I own a remote control Wall-E and R2D2.

Out of curiosity, if you don’t mind me asking, what are you now?

I’d vote for this as thread-winner. (But also, aw…)

My nerdy qualities are all just repeats of what others have said, but not as impressive… I’m a trained mathematician and computer scientist, but not an accomplished one. I also get little romantic action, but I never designed a machine that upstaged me.

On the other hand, I’m not particularly into sci-fi or fantasy or superheroes, I don’t know anything about Star Wars, Star Trek, or the Star Brand (which I had to Google), have no interest in memorizing movies or digits, etc.

I always think of myself as nerdy because of the circles I hung out in when I was a kid, but now, I suppose, just as nerdiness has become cool, I no longer have any real claim on it. I’m just a guy who knows math, is a loser, and, uh… wears glasses.

I hang out on message boards like this. :frowning: Yikes

My nerdiness is as nothing compared to the nerdiness of some in this thread, of whom I am not worthy to sort and categorise the laces of their shoes. However, my kids have great nerd-credentials, especially the Taller Girl.

  • Her first evening home after coming back from hospital was spent watching Episode 1 of Doctor Who (ok, she wasn’t paying quite as much attention as me…)

  • We used to soothe her to sleep with the background music from StarCraft (very ambient!)

*When she got a new set of facepaints last year almost her first action was to paint her whole face blue and say “Look! I’m a Drainei!”

*We’ve taught all the kids that the proper way to say goodbye is “Have fun storming the castle!” (“Do you think it’ll work?” “It’d take a miracle”) “Byeee!”

*Also, the Small Boy is probably the only four year old I know whose favourite pretend characters are “I am a creeper … BOOM!” and “Mama, you Zombie, I chomp you … CHOMP!”

I have 60,000 Wikipedia edits. Most of them are little things like fixing spelling mistakes and ambiguous links. When I’m not doing that, I publish a humor blog. It’s about Wikipedia.

My name is in the NetHack credits.

When I go to karaoke, I wear one of these t-shirts:

Oh yeah, and I’m a Doper. On preview, I guess oreally beat me to that one.
