Hottest Geek/Nerd on MFP

I can actually enter this one. My claim to fame: I have two daughters (16 and 13) and all of their friends have my cell # on speed dial so they can quickly get hold of me to help with their math homework. I'm helping around a dozen girls get through school.

I can speak Excel and VBA and read technical manuals for fun. That's gotta qualify...

sweet you fall into the 10 types of people out there.. those who understand binary and those who dont

Haha...the irony of this comment made me chuckle.

Orson Scott Card anyone ?

Boom - just got you nominated

Please. OSC's only decent work was Ender's Game. The rest of his shiznit was virtually unreadable. Take it up a notch with some Gravity's Rainbow: "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now."

NOOOO! Only if you're a preteen. Alvin Maker was the ****.

ha!

Also taking names for friending.

I'm a sci fi/fantasy geek. GRRM, Orson Scott Card, Terry Pratchett, Niels Gaiman and Stephenson.... There's a lot of good books out there, and good television.

Agreed Ender's Game was awesome - got lame for a bit, but then bounced back - did you hear they might be making a movie?

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.

oh yeah!!!

Real l33t techs like me don't need "certificates" I use em' to wrap birthday presents!

Oh and I'm a Cisco CCNA ...BAM!

Nominated not only are you a nerd but you're funny too....extra hot!!

You know what, I nominate me... because I think I'm pretty damn attractive and I spent six hours raiding today on my druid and priest and paladin... and because I just spent 40.00 on eBay to finish up my modern Bant exalted deck. I can write you up an old-school website with HTML and CSS if you'd like.

I'm the wrong kind of nerd.

I think you're the RIGHT kind of nerd. I bet you made all your friends cool myspace pages back in the day!

Muuuuuuuch better thread over here! Love a man in specs!

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.

^^^ the math and science parts are in my court lol

I just immediately identified as a gamer, but my nerdiness spreads through all fields: mostly my love of genetics and linguistics to the point where I plan on studying something completely useless like human acquisition of speech and language.

Oh yeah, gotta love the geeks. I'm a techie myself and own way too many sci fi books.

I'm a network administrator by trade, and programmer for fun. I play games (when I can) as well - and have been tearing up D3 co-op with friends. Loving Sci-Fi and watch documentaries about the universe nearly every night before bed. Bonus points: This is my bedroom... Anyone recognize?

It's been optioned for a while. But I predict a flop bc the reveal is too weak to bolster more than 60 min

It depends on the angle they will go for, if they are going to segway to Bean, they can probably get a good momentum/ending, or if they are going speaker for the dead, then it will probably not work.

A noble gas walks into a bar. The bartender says "sorry, we don't serve noble gases in here." The noble gas did not react.
