View Full Version : I am a giant nerd

Yesterday I got bored in math class and used a series of equations to graph a smiley face on a y-intercept graphing calculator.

The function set went along the lines of...

Y1=Root(64-X^2)
Y2= -Root(64-X^2)
Y3=Root(4-(X-3)^2)+3
Y4=-Root(4-(X-3)^2)+3
Y5=Root(4-(X+3)^2)+3
Y6=-Root(4-(X+3)^2)+3
Y7= -.75*Root(25-X^2)-3
Y8= -.25*Root(25-X^2)-3

may have mixed up a negative somewhere in there, but that's the gist of it.

Ever done something so nerdy that you surprised yourself? Story time!

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but last time a thread like this popped up it did.
I once made a song about...
- someone getting banned somewhere... R.I.P. :'(
- someone getting promoted to administrator somewhere even though I didn't even know the person in question.
- 8-bit theater
- sweet panda love

Also, being bored by my teachers instructions on how to use excel, created smileys, using the grid as some sort of pixel grid. I also made a goomba.

EDIT: I also made a short song about Orlando Bloom's... Flail

EDIT2: How could I ithink of Orlando Bloom's dong before my finished Let's Play of Earthbound? That's right I finished a Let's play and I'm most definitely not gay. I'M NOT GAY!

I exchanged gifts via the Pokewalker with a friend while playing D&D.





Yup.

I was reading through my vector calculus book today (no, I'm not taking a class on it), and was absolutely delighted to find a section on falling cats.

I'm studying runes so that I can find out how to say "I prepared Explosive Runes this morning"

I am doing reading for a history essay, and am finding the content of the big-pile-o-books I have far more interesting than most fiction nowadays.

What? A history nerd is still a nerd!

I've designed out of LEGO bricks a 3-D model of my Melfice sprite.

LEGO? Check.
Video game (sprite)? Check.

Yup. Nerd.

I've had a completely serious argument about whether Sephiroth or Hitler would win in a fight.

I once went to a yugioh locals tournament wearing a Battle City Duel Disk. Used it through out the whole tournament.

Still have it too. Could sell it for $100 and get a buyer. But I won't, cause I like my duel disk.

I learnt the Stargate co-ordinates for Earth.

WHAT?? You'd regret not knowing them too if you ever got stranded on an alien planet!

This is terrific.

I was just going to stick my thumb out, but I should maybe do this as well.

I had a conversation with my partner, while on a long ambulance drive, about comic books and about comparing Superman to Hitler.

I did all my own sprites pixel by pixel with no base.

I am teaching myself how to use a 3-section staff.

I am a member of a wiki for Final Fantasy.

Oh yes, that reminds me. I once found myself curious about something FF related, and looked it up on a wiki. I found what I was looking for, but the rest of the article was poorly written and had a few spelling mistakes and factual errors. Well, that was simply unacceptable to me, so I spent nearly two hours totally rewriting the article. From memory, without having to look anything up.

-I've gotten into a serious argument on Spyro the Dragon's place in Darwin's theory of evolution.

-I was fascinated to learn that Forbidden Planet was a modified version of Shakespeare's The Tempest, and then got into an argument with friends over whether Robbie the Robot was supposed to be Ariel or Caliban.

He's totally Ariel.

If it involves Superman as the Ubermensk, then I know that conversation...

Do you roll to a stop when exiting onto a highway, proclaiming, "It's not my fault!" or have to punch the dashboard to get things to work right?
