I think that c is the most important "nerd number"

roughly 300 million meters per second

Since no one seemed to want to hear any nerdy pickup lines, I offer my favorite quote.

R.P. Feynman wrote:
A poet once said "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass closely enough we see the entire universe. There are the things of physics: the twisting liquid which evaporates depending on the wind and weather, the reflections in the glass, and our imaginations adds the atoms. The glass is a distillation of the Earth's rocks, and in its composition we see the secret of the universe's age, and the evolution of the stars. What strange array of chemicals are there in the wine? How did they come to be? There are the ferments, the enzymes, the substrates, and the products. There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation. Nobody can discover the chemistry of wine without discovering, as did Louis Pasteur, the cause of much disease. How vivid is the claret, pressing its existence into the consciousness that watches it! If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this glass of wine, this universe, into parts — physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on — remember that Nature does not know it! So let us put it all back together, not forgetting ultimately what it is for. Let it give us one more final pleasure: drink it and forget it all!

My goodness ! That is a long chat up line, I hold the view that there is no such thing as a chat up line which will make a woman suddenly want sex or a relationship.

A normal cyclist can reach an average speed of 13mph measured the same way, from beginning to end of the journey. Not many people know that!)



Running 48:11 gears with a foot speed of 150 rpm, you can go about 50mph on flat ground. Alot of people know that.

I imagine we're excluding the "I wish I were your derivative..." line as it's a well established aphrodisiac.

Although speaking of nerdy pickup lines, I saw this one time...

verall, you scored as follows:

15% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
84% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!! !.

Did you know that when reports came back that there were less than 100 DODO's left, the museums of Europe despatched a whole load of scientists to Mauritius to preserve them. They accomplished this important task by first killing and then stuffing them
