Devious Acts of Nerdiness

What acts have you done that signify your nerdiness?

Example: A few months ago, I went with a friend of mine to a psychiatrist (for her). While I waited for her to get her medication, I played with one of those magnetic drawing thingies for kids. On it, I drew the symbols for the Chaos gods from Warhammer 40,000. Notably, I did NOT erase them when we left.

My intention was thus: The next person to pick up that board would probably be a little kid. They would look at the symbols, wonder what they were, before erasing them. Then, many years later, they will see the symbols in context. Recalling them from childhood, they will investigate them, learn of the game, and maybe start playing.

Does memorizing 30+ digits of Pi count? (3.141592653589793238462643383279...)

Sounds like your average Jew, indoctrinating kids right from the start.

Only that they will start yelling "Blood for Blood God" when they come at you!

I was always more of a Slaanesh fan myself.

Chaos... is the only true answer.

42 is the ultimate answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything

Therefore, Chaos=42!

That's what the gods want you to believe.

I've always liked Nurgle best. After all, not matter what - decay will always triumph over your other Chaos power.

That was ALSO part of the plan. The thing is, I have like a billion copies. One is in my brain, which is in my body, which is in a suit of Tactical Dreadnought Armor.

Some lascannons should deal with that...

It looks familiar ... somewhere in the first hundred digits of pi or of e ?

A Google search for the above string returns one, and only one, result (OK, probably two after this post). Was THAT your devious act of nerdiness?

Either that, or time itself.

No armor, be it Power Armor, Tactical Dreadnought Armor, an Artificer Armor, or even a Dreadnought in all its might are invulnerable and airtight and hermetically sealed when it comes to the contagions Nurgle has created in his wisdom.

A minute crack, a small seal not carefully checked, a tiny spot of rust in the right place are an invitation for the master of decay. There is no cure, only suffering, and a slow and painful death at the hand of Grandfather Nurgle.

You know that it's true - it's the way of things. Of everything. Why not embrace the warm touch of the Decayer? You know it's the right thing to do, for there is no hope, and no other way.

If I suck on this end of the thread, and you fire up the dakka on that end ... will I get high?

No, you'd be dead. Even an Ork cannot shoot that poorly!

A Google search for the above string returns one, and only one, result (OK, probably two after this post). Was THAT your devious act of nerdiness?It was a continuation from the digits of pi entered before. Creating a Google search that returns only one result is, however, a wonderful accomplishment.

Right.

I see now why it creates a unique search result on Google: I transposed some of the digits by accident, so it doesn't even match pi.

This sounds too much like my maths lesson for comfort... One slight scrap of attention to the teacher and BOOOOM! you Hemorrhage to death
