I am a giant nerd

Pip Boy · 03-20-2010, 08:35 AM

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!
