Driving along, listening to the radio, and on comes an ad that asks "Are you a nerd? Do you know Klingon? How many digits of pi can you recite?" (and some various other stereotypical nerd markers). They're advertising a speed dating event for nerds at TGIFridays.

That's interesting. I don't even know. Other than I'm getting more and more offended at nerd-centric advertising because I think being a nerd differs from person to person and we don't all have the same experience. I have seen most of the Star Trek episodes and movies from most series, but I don't speak Klingon. I can however quote 18th century English lit ad nauseum. And I know more about the different types of fibers and the animals that bring them to us than I should confess to. Nerd is a wide variety of experiences. I don't know any digits of pi, but I can name the lines of English royalty for quite a ways.

Anyway, if anyone wants to go and report back, I will pay your registration fee. I have to work late that night. Plus I'm not single and that would feel dishonest.
