This thread made me realize how nerdy I am. :-/
And to think that every time I go to the US, customs officers look at me as if I am lying when I declare being a comp. sci. student. Once one even said to me that I "didn't look the part". Good thing I had my last report with me.

Re: Nerds Unite (112 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I have a passion for made up languages.
As a teen, friends and I would speak the French version of Nadsat.
I blame Newspeak for me taking all those semiology classes as a literature student.
When I was 7yo I asked for a dictionary for Christmas. I would spend hours reading it.
I have to say that I can still waste a fair amount of time browsing through dictionaries.
Also, I support the Doctor Who comp project.

Semi-retro computing + unix-likes : Dell 133 lappy running on FreeBSD, clamshell iBook running on Debian, and an iLamp (G4 iMac) that I wanna dualboot OS X / Fedora. Why? BECAUSE.
I'm not a fan of video games in general, but I could play Soul Calibur II and/or Bushido Blade I or II 24/7.
Doctor Who obsessed.
And finally, I don't know if it counts as "nerdy", but I own 15+ different red lipsticks. And I definitely need more. Can never get enough.
EDIT :
Oh and I use to play in a Cyberpunk LARP.
I've read the whole (original) Dune Saga at least 5 times.

RE : Kangaroo, if I can order kangaroo tartar in a Hochelaga, Montreal, restaurant, I bet you can find it anywhere in the world. It's a bit like horse or moose meat, taste wise. I usually have red meats raw, so I wouldn't know for steak or jerky.

A few months ago, I asked friends to create algzèbres (or "algezebras") to keep me company in the Mathematics Jungle. Obviously, minusbaby had to outdo himself.

if you put it on youtube there's an experimental (sometimes shitty) translator. It can help for everyone to (almost) fully understand it.
Oh I think that translator would be slightly baffled by the amount of montrealese slang in that video

Quite the contrary.

Wow over reaction o_O
I just suggested subtitles for the ONLINE VERSION of this video, which looks super cool.
It was a suggestion not a complaint. The video rocks.Sometimes I wish my internet access got removed.
Sorry Akira, that wasn't aimed at you. Just trying to dodge any comments that usually follow such explanations.
