Nerd Test!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Physics lessons?! I can only dream of being able to grasp such things. I, too, have always loved astronomy, but my math disabilities ruined that course for me in college. I got horrible marks in chemistry in high school, for the same reason. Not only was it utterly humiliating for me, but my p1ss-poor math and science marks also ruined my high school grade point average. Good-bye scholarships! And yet no one thought to notice that there was a serious problem, here - no one suggested testing or tutoring, or anything of that nature that might have helped my grades *and* my self-esteem. I was just, ya know, lazy and not applying myself to the material. Mmhmm.

B@stards! :evil:

Do you remember the scientist who says that men are going to get extinkt?
When WE are all dead, I can hear YOU complain about it. :|
Oh, and Claire, that quotation is from the early days of the twentieth century, so the three probably are dead. So probably no one does really understand relativity anymore..!? :|

A nerd is supposedly someone with poor social skills but high interest in technology.

A nerd is a pale, shy guy who likes to spend his time in front of a computer, who puts up articles on the technical details of How Stuff Works on his webpage and who is never seen without thick-rimmed glasses (well, sort of).

I have to question the definition of Nerd-dom here...

(guess that increases my score already... :lol: :oops: )

A "nerd" doesn't have to be a computer nerd, someone who knows every bloody buggering useless thing about computers. When it came to that question, "how much RAM does your computer have", I had no idea :lol: ;D . Incidentally neither did my dad, who bought the computer originally... and he has made his living as a computer programmer for the past 35 years! And also reads everything he can that's physics-related and intends to do a degree in it when he retires, "just for fun" :lol: :notworthy: .

Nerd always meant to me someone who was just (supposedly) a little too keen academically, with a kind of autistic knowledge of one or more subjects. Or is a that geek? Oh it's a minefield! :P

56% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
43% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: 43%

and i never even lied :lol:

Don't they say when you say you get it you don't fully get it?

:eek: :lol:

EDIT: Just realised: That's quantum theory :lol:

I think a nerd is a bit worse than a geek. Dunno. :lol:

Well almost. It's if you're not utterly discombobulated by it you don't understand it, I think that's it. Well that could be my own phraseology, but you get the point... :wink:
