I'll give you a hint: there's a checkbox you need to check.

If you can't figure it out with that then YOU'RE NOT A REAL NERD!

Now that I know how to embed youtube videos, I feel like I'm qualified to add "Coding HTML" on my list of nerdy things.

[Victor Sullivan]

They see me mowin'
My front porch
I know they're all thinking
I'm so old n' senile

Think I'm just too old n' senile
Think I'm just too old n' senile
Can't you see I'm old n' senile
Look at me I'm old n' senile
I wanna roll with
The youngsters
But so far they all think
I'm too old n' senile
Think I'm just too old n' senile
Think I'm just too old n' senile
I'm just too old n' senile
Really, really old n' senile

I put salt in my cup of tea
Holler "Bingo!" preemptively
Want to drive but I lost my keys
Would walk but I got a bad knee
...

- First in your class at MIT (or similar school)
- D&D player/champion
- M.C. Escher or similar graphic artist is a favorite of yours
- You drink tea (rather than malt liquor)
- You do not have spinning rims on the wheels of your car
- You have action figures
- You have a Stephen Hawking book in your collection (or have read Stephen Hawking)
- You have a myspace page
- You know pi to a thousand places (or more than 10 places)
- You wear braces
- You like mayonaisse on your sandwiches
- You play minesweeper regularly
- You do calculus for fun
- You have a soldering gun
- Happy Days is your favorite theme song
- You are excellent at ping pong
- You are excellent at trivia games
- You are fluent in Java script
- You are fluent in Klingon <-- I used to sign my name in Feanorian script. Does that count?
- You ride a Segway <-- I suppose I get minus one here, because not only have I never ridden a Segway, but I have no idea what kind of animal or device it is.
- You collect comic books
- You have a pocket protector
- You have an ergonomic keyboard
- You edit wikipedia <-- donate money to wikipedia. Half a point?
- You have Monty Python and the Holy Grail memorized (alternatives include any Star Trek movies or Star Wars movies) <-- probably 30% of it. 0.3 points?
- You do HTML (whatever that means)
- You have a fanny pack <-- Own one, but don't use it. Half a point?
- You shop at Gap
- You like to mess around with bubble wrap
- You were in the AV club, the glee club, and/or the chess team (acceptable alternatives include the debate team or the math team) <-- wow. I was the HEAD of the Technical Team (roughly the equivalent of an AV club) in Grade 10, the champion of the debating team and the founder of the school paper in Grade 11, the founder and briefly the champion of the chess club in university. You'd probably consider it cheating if I gave myself five points for all that. How about 1/3 of 5, which conveniently rounds to 1.7 and will combine with my 0.3 from above to make a neat 2?
- You like either Kirk or Picard (or cannot pick between the two of them)
- You go to the Renaissance Faire
- You have your name on your underwear

Eight points out of a possible thirty-three. Hmph.

In addition to the above, I'm also a devastatingly powerful thread-killer...

Thankfully, you are not. I'm sure others will post their relative nerdiness (on the Weird Al scale) here as well.
