I would consider my nerdiness a party trick. I do mental math to get the chicks, man. 3x3x3x3x8=72!

I usually just scrawl perl code on the bar napkin until the women are so thick around me I can't move my arms.

Unfortunately, that's usually about the point in time I wake up...

I'll bite.
What?

I believe he is saying that 8*3^4=72 factorial. Or he is saying that 8*3^4=72, and he is saying it enthusiastically. I am not entirely sure I agree with either.

Yeah I don't get why the maths is wrong. Thought it might have been hex but it's not.

If you really want to get the ladies then you prove that the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything (whose answer is 42) is "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?"

Women might want to be with nice girls for the stability, but they sure as hell don't respect them.

I kind of like how lesbianism was just thrust into this thread. Nicely done.

Cheers for calling several adorable and sweet girls I know "ugly" or "mental".

I did state that coming from me 'Mental' isn't a criticism. I also know plenty of beautiful geeky/nerdy gals ; just pointing out that that's also those girls which I later learn are producers of hentai material/heavily into dominations, etc. Cheers indeed.

Yes it is.
I want something ->I'm bigger than you ->it's mine.

How about this ; You want something & I say no to you like every other bully I have known & beat the crap out of you for trying to steal stuff, then place you under citizen's arrest? Then you can try and figure out which genius in the pen is the alpha male...

Just because something is lame, doesn't mean it's nerdy. Comic books are lame but they're not nerdy.
Nerdy is an outlook on life. The ability to take a chunk of the abstract, random world we live in, and turn it into quantifiable data and objects.
"nerdiness" is essentially an extension of the survival instinct to see patterns in nature, it's not just a party trick.

Hum. ''Nerd is a derogatory stereotype of a person typically described as socially-impaired, obsessive, or overly intellectual.'' -Wiki. In this case I'll trust Girls Everywhere (tm) and Wiki when it comes to defining nerdyness...

That's a Fruedian slip and a half...

I'm loving how many people here know geeky/mental/awesome girls/women. If only I could find one, my Captain Mal-esque personality would finally pay off. Weird combo of forever alone and the proven fact that the grass is always greener...

... Combo-breakers exists?

6x7 I believe is the question. Well, strictly speaking Earth is the question.

Earth is but the computer for working out the question.

I wouldn't go that far, though it is overrated and CERTAINLY over-referenced. I was always a much bigger fan of Dirk Gently.

I wish my name had such a Scottish dagger feel to it.

6x9 is the question Arthur comes up with by drawing tiles from a scrabble bag, to which Ford replies that he always felt there was something fundamentally wrong with the universe. 6x9=54 in the decimal system but if you do it in base 13 it equals 42.

Burn the heretic! When the HHG first came out it was much better and much different than anything else at the time. Since then the world has moved on, but that misnamed trilogy of five books will always have a special place for me.

Don't listen to Joey, he just likes to disagree with the majority. Like HHGTG is "garbage".. You don't even need to validate your opinion to 99% of people, Sci-Fi/comedy fans or no!

If you made a food thread and people said they liked popcorn, Joey would say that Popcorn tastes like soap and he likes to take Brussel Sprouts to the cinema.

And thats about the time Rodney and Tbone would find him. No one says popcorn is less than perfection...and lives!

You can't string together a series of quirky lines that you think sound clever and call it a novel. As a book it's terrible. It's impossible to empathise with any of the characters because they only serve to articulate Adams' whimsical fantasies.
If you compare him to Pratchett, he comes off badly - they both have a similar premise, that of a fantasy world, but Pratchett's narrative is much stronger, and it's easier to empathise with his characters.

Well there's no point posting to say "I agree" every time someone says something I agree with

So Joey, you just disagree with the consensus that you always disagree with consensus.

There is an irony in there somewhere.

Pratchett is better of course, the mans a genius.

gak you agree with me now.. quick, go and start reading something I wouldnt like!

That lady looks like she has both the capability and intent to severely beat my ass.

That's because she's only showing us her right arm.

She's actually a southpaw.

Most of my friends who're "nice" to girls are cheated on them. Women might want to be with nice girls for the stability, but they sure as hell don't respect them.

I don't think anyone pointed this out, but that's one hell of a Freudian slip there Joey.

.....There was me who thought nerdiness was just doing nerdy things like watching anime and sci-fi, and playing video games and trading games. And collecting comics, and doing cosplay. Y'know, that kind of stuff.

First time I've heard it called, 'an extension of the survival instinct'.

What everyone else thinks is wrong, Joey is all knowing.
