    I am collaborating with a friend of mine on building an entertainment system that will look like a blue police box from the outside, but when you open it, it will have a nice flat screen TV with all the seasons of Doctor Who (including the old ones), and enough room to fit in a few gaming consoles.

    how hot does that make me? :)

    I don't even like Dr. Who and that impresses me!

    Agreed! :drinker:

    I am a nerd/geek/unidentified flying object because at the 'tender' age of 18:

    * I have attended a human anatomy lab where I handled dissected cadavers that were over 3 years old due to awesome preservation techniques, my favourite part of the body is now the brain because of its squishy/solid texture :tongue:
    While there I learnt that us ladies are a bit like trees, there is a part of cartilage in the centre of the hip bone which breaks during pregnancy, every time, in order to allow a little bit more space for the baby to grow. You can tell how many times a woman has been pregnant by the number of rings there are in that cartilage.

    * After my final college exams next month I will be starting a part-time job at a haematology lab to save up some money before I go to study Biological Sciences at Durham University :laugh: I am VERY excited!

    I AM -SO- JEALOUS. I love everything you're doing!

    i think definitions of "nerd" and "geek" need to be laid out here. Because I would not have even thought of "gamers"...I think who's got the most books and knows the quadratic equation by heart, understands Einstein's theory of relatively, uses the word "mesopotamia" on the regular, and would rather study the latin names of plants than watch TV.

    I fit more into that definition...haha, current med student, former science quiz competitor and web-developer.

    Aw thank you :blushing: the anatomy lab did smell a bit funky though, I was very nervous beforehand!

    Only if it involved Diablo 3.

    No diablo 3 on a LAN, Blizzard wants its money. Diablo 2 is the way to go - we did that when my friend stayed with us for blizzcon.

    I'm a word nerd, love the Dune and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series, and would watch Merlin and Stargate repeatedly if it weren't for the dang kids.:bigsmile:

    My hobbies include birding, astronomy, making telescope mirrors, mineral and rock collecting, and playing the clarinet to Leon Redbone records. Records, I said

    I flunked engineering freshman year at Brown U only to graduate with a Math/Physics/Geology BSc.

    I love being a magician and getting paid for it. Theater of the mind. Creating fantasy in the flesh for people who have forgotten how to see the magic in everyday objects and activities.

    I am a registered professional geologist, Certified Engineering Geologist, HAZWOPER certs since 1987, and a Community Emergency Response Team member.

    I do NOT play video games or go to COMIC-CON,

    I like opera jazz, rock, Zappa, and cannot listen to hiphop, or C&W.

    I like to cook, and garden, and go canoeing and rafting. Camping is the ultimate vacation.

    Maybe I am not a nerd or geek - just a pompous *kitten*?..

    Can we self-nominate? I have serious geek credentials.
    For instance, right now, I'm working on solving a problem using a zero inflated negative binomial regression using Stata.

    I win.:wink:

    I love a guy with a big, huge, gigantic brain! :love:

    oh no is this going to lapse into a "mines bigger than yours" argument :laugh:

    Hot damn, pick a topic and let me know the time and place so I could watch that argument. Fingers crossed that it's classic literature. SEXY!

    anyone for the "is batman a TRUE superhero" discussion ?:laugh:

    He's a super rich guy in a super cool expensive suit that does some amazing heroic things, but a superhero he is not. You need to have at least one superpower to be a superhero in my book.
    So, Iron Man isn't a superhero either (until Extremis, or course)?! :angry:

    Iron Man gets tricky because part of him is artificially enhanced permanently, so he's kind of a gray area for me. I'll fully admit though that other than the movies I'm very limited as to my knowledge of Tony Stark. But I'm willing to hear both sides of the argument. I think the "superhero status" of Batman (and Iron Man) are fully debatable topics and I have heard very convincing points to both sides. My opinion rests as it is though.

    However, this being a pro-nerd thread I feel a need to re-enforce that part of what makes Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne such alluring and sexy characters is how smart they actually are. Their brains are so amazing that they can actually compete with powers that are beyond basic human element. Not to mention the fact that with all that amazing sexy intelligence they still manage to defy the face of evil. Superhero -- debatable. Superhot -- most definitely.

    ^That is why ZombieChaser really wins. I don't even know her, but that's some good evidence.

    Agreed! Those heels are some serious nerd cred! :heart:

    Since I am both, i'd like to admit that my definitions are opposite yours!

    I play video games, i watch big bang, I love math, I'm in med school, i like word games (and all board games), I love batman, i have a calculator watch (and 8 other watches lol).. , i play with rubics cubes, i have a plasma globe and Newton Cradle in my room as well as a "tornado in a bottle". I played trombone for 8 years, i listen to classical music and I dabble in photoshop, putting together computers and am in general good with most things computer/technology related. I have two floor to ceiling 5 foot wide bookshelves full of everything from harry potter to the new england journal of medicine. Lots of text books, fiction and non-fiction! ..also car magazines
    I'd generally consider a nerd as a "gamer" and a geek as a "intelectual" if that makes sense....
    Could differ by country/region though. xxx

    If it's Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, or anything in league with those, I've read it.

    If it's a video game, online or offline, I'm probably better than you.

    And yes, I'll probably kick your butt at the gym as well!

    Is that the kind of nerdy we're talking about?

    I've only had time to play for about 2 hours total, but my husband has been addicted since it came out. Such a fun game!
