Ah, stereotypes.

Funny, I consider myself a huge nerd, yet the only one that applies to me is this

- You like to mess around with bubble wrap

When I saw that you posted in this thread, I knew that you would post something to bring everyone down. See what happens when I try to make a post that doesn't have to do with politics?

I love bubble wrap by the way. LOVE IT!

[natty dread]

hen I saw that you posted in this thread, I knew that you would post something to bring everyone down.

I brought you down did I? Well, sucks for you.

Besides, what kind of lists mentions HTML and Javascript but says nothing about Python or C? And no mention of having linux as an OS anywhere?

It just seems to me like whoever wrote this list or whatever was going by the typical hollywood stereotypes of nerds, rather than what actual nerds do. But whatever, I guess it's good for fun or something.

But... but... Weird Al! WEIRD AL!!!!

Seriously though, watch the video. It's entertaining.

Tea (kind of a British thing there), mayo, Hawking, D&D (but only in computer games), Monty Python, no spinning rims (but also no car), have shopped at Gap.

I'm definitely somewhere on the scale.

[john9blue]

i fit 13 of them (with loose interpretations of the words "regularly", "favorite", "action figure", "read", "fluent", and "excellent")

Oh there's a video? You should have embedded it...

Hmm... I'll have to work on figuring out how to do that.

It really come down to whether you've read one of Stephen Hawking's books, merely own one of his books, or have actually read Stephen Hawking himself. The first is a bit nerdy, the second merely pretentious, and the third is frankly weird.

To be fair, it's not exactly difficult.
