favorite link of the day

If you haven't read this, then you should, The Nerd Handbook.

One of my favorite parts is the why nerds are funny, "fucking funny" I mean.
  • Humor is an intellectual puzzle, “How can this particular set of esoteric trivia be constructed to maximize hilarity as quickly as possible?” Your nerd listens hard to recognize humor potential and when he hears it, he furiously scours his mind to find relevant content from his experience so he can get the funny out as quickly as possible.
This describe they type of humor I strive for and, of course, find very attractive in others.
