And you all thought I was bad with the birthday math!

Fascinating!



Just goes to show that math will always totally rock!  And birthday math will always rock harder!

Brainiacs!

All this talk about my so-called "normal" brain yesterday has gotten me thinking about all the references to brains I have come across over the years.  I thought I would share some of them here.

Any talk about "normal brains" has to bring to mind this classic bit from a classic movie.  I first saw this in the theater as a young teen. This was back in the day when even little country towns had movie theaters.  I laughed so loud and hard through the movie that my mother said I embarrassed her!



A more recent brain find is this t-shirt.

 

One of the vendors at my new mall has one of these shirts at his booth.  I wanted to buy it for my birthday, but he only had a medium and that's a size I have not worn since I was, like, nine.  Most of the nerds I know are chubby dudes.  We like sizes that start with X.  (Note that I said "sizes" not "movies")

There's also this version of the zombie/nerd T-shirt, but I don't like the design as much. 

If zombies had blogs, what would they write about?  Brains, of course.  Check out that blogroll.  Turns out there are quite a few zombie blogs.  Who knew?

Moving away from zombies, we find these two:

That's the original version of the theme, from when they were just a segment on Animaniacs and had not yet been spun off into their own show.  Ahhh...the cartoons of my young adulthood!

Of course no mention of these two would be complete without this song.  I think I may have posted it here years and years ago, but it's a classic well worth revisiting.

All together now:  Brain Stem!  Brain Stem!

To wrap up this little survey, I give you Monty Python!

We were actually watching this sketch in the car on the way to my MRI.  I walked in to the hospital muttering about "Bits of Brain."  In fact, I've been saying that just about ever since.

Well, I have to go now. My brain hurts and I need to find a specialist.

All together now:  Bits of brain!  Bits of brain!

I have a new look!

With everything else going on, I forgot to mention my mini-makeover.  I got new glasses for my birthday!

I still need a haircut!

I'm back in bifocals again, which is a relief.  I could barely see out of the pair that I was wearing.  I broke my last pair of bi-focals a couple of years ago, so I went back to wearing the pair I had before them.  Then I broke that pair, so I went back to the pair I wore before that pair.  It's nice to be up to date again.  I also got try out contacts, but I haven't had a chance to use them yet.  Just too much going on.

As you can see, I'm going for nerd chic now!

Nerds Unite!

I'm off to my 25th college reunion this weekend!  I'm also wondering how the hell that happened?  Are they sure 1987 was twenty-five years ago.  I'm sure I'll have lots to say afterwards, but in the meantime, it's videos this weekend.

First up the Nerdfighter Anthem!  If you're not cued into the whole nerdfighter gig, checkout the vlogbothers on YouTube or just google it.  Makes me proud to be a nerd, I tell you.  We make the world a better place, you know.

And if the last two days didn't spell it out for you....

Yes, it's true.  I am a big ole nerd.  Always will be.  And there ain't a damn thing wrong with that.

In fact, I'm the one that's cool.




So there!

Belated Slice of Pi

Wednesday was Pi Day, but I managed to miss it.  Have a belated slice on me:



Never, ever forget that, under this cool exterior, I am one great big nerd!  And nerds totally ROCK!
