What was your best and brightest nerd moment?
We all have one. Wave your nerd flag high and show your nerd pride!
@Mentieth Haha I totally agree, though my latest nerd moment/best was getting my math tests back last week and they were all 100, I was so happy. But I wasn't just hapy cause it was a good grade but I also felt like I was proving something to my math/homeroom teacher, don't know what, but something. =]
When I went to a comic-con and didn't dress up. That was the best and brightest nerd moment for me because I have achieved high status in both worlds. Like a day-walker or even better yet, a spork!
@afierce I was in the middle of reading book six and went to work, book in hand, the next day. Someone saw me with the book and said, blah de blah blah, this happens in the end (for hopefuls that still might read it), in the break room no less. I cried and had to be consoled. I was SO angry that someone would be so careless and so sad at finding out that way. I read 3/4 of the book and refused to finish it until I had healed. It took about a month before I picked it back up again.
Solving the unified theory of everything just as Einstein had predicted but in the excitement accidentally posting the handwritten solution pages to the Royal Scientific society without a stamp and then forgetting how I had done it...
either that or mending a non starting Toyota land cruiser by hitting the battery terminal with a lump hammer...
I don't remember it, but i was told that when i was a kid. I showed a store employee, and my parents ,how to print something after they had been trying for a while and where getting frustrated.
@Parrotworm right after book six came out, all my friends had finished reading it except one. we all got together and the one was banished to the other room while we accidently went on about the book for over an hour. i feel ya.
My latest nerd moment: I actually posted an abridged philosophical proof on a philosoraptor picture...
