The kids over at the science blogs have been fighting over their bragging rights as nerds. I think some us non-science types need to step forward to defend our place in the nerdy sun. Here's my claim:
- I received a nerd score of 85 even though I wasn't a science major.
- I still own a lava lamp.
- I did not go to my high school senior prom.
- I watched the first episode of "Star Trek" on a Zenith black and white teevee.
- I packed two capes when I left for college.
- I continued to read comic books as an adult.
- I was the class projectionist in Junior High and had a card from Bell & Howell to prove it.
- I do not have an athletic bone in my body.
- I have a set of gold plated "Trivial Pursuit" wedges, but no one in my family will play with me.
- By age ten, I had a chemistry set, a telescope, and a microscope.
- I wear socks with sandals.
- I camped out for the first "Star Wars" movie.
- In college I could recite most of the "Firesign Theater" albums.
- I built the "Visible Man" model kit.
- I point out the mistakes in historical movies to those sitting next to me.
- I blog.
