Congrats to Bruce and Luisa

Congrats to Bruce and Luisa on the birth of baby Daniel and *hugs* to the 3 of you.

I came across this before and knew some day it would be words of wisdom for someone -

"Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud "snort" noises.) I don't know why parents don't do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you're a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won't have his friends hanging around your house all the time." ~P.J. O'Rourke

Silly online Geek test....

Your Score: Modern, Cool Nerd

56 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 34% Dork

For The Record:



A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.



You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.



Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!



Congratulations!

My favourite quote from last week!

Went to see wild hogs last week..and I gained a new favourite quote


"I am not really a cool biker,I am a computer programmer a geek"

Now this probably wouldn't amused me so much if a certain computer programmer/manager that I know hadn't recently purchased a shiny red bike the same as this one -
