Looking at the radar, I'd be surprised if they played tonight. 

We are in Rain Delay. This has been your Circus Boy Update.

[Craig Arko]

This sounds serious...... is this serious???  I'm 14 years removed from a C+ in Astronomy, and I didn't even know this.  Do we need to petition NASA to start sending Astronauts back on the moon...... to ya know, add some extra weight to slow it down?

Most serious. As serious as rain in Cleveland.

Back when I was a wee tot programmer, we gave nicknames to folks based on the programming language they favored; e.g, Fortran weenie, C dweeb, Ada puke, Assembly language zen master. Nerd was something you might call a LISP programmer.

 

Just sayin. Been all of them.

We should take a census of the nerds on TD.

My older bro is quite a few of those.

A big "not a nerd" for me. Not nerds 1- Nerds 0.

 

The previous was your CBU Nerd/Notnerd update

Does my IQ of 146 qualify as a nerd? I like to identify as one...

New to the site but, GO twins. Very important we sweep the indians imo.

 

Welcome... I say... Welcome Son. Welcome to Twins Daily That is

Not one to being a nerd or not judge, but that statement by you (especially the last 6 words) sounds like it to me    

[Riverbrian]

 

Does anyone know if you can change your username? Tia

 

You can change your user name but don't do it... We need a Foghorn Leghorn. We don't have one. 

[jokin]

 

I consider it a public service.

 

You could be of even more help if you let me know when we officially stop needing a "Leap Year."

[ashbury]

Most serious. As serious as rain in Cleveland.

Even bigger. World Serious.

No, but quoting it? Perhaps....

[ashbury]

I programmed back when you did it on the bare metal. Proto-nerd, maybe. Ur-nerd.

Nerd test: 

 

http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_nq.php

 

My score:

 

Overall, you scored as follows:

 

72% scored higher (more nerdy),
2% scored the same, and
26% scored lower (less nerdy).

 

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

 

Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

^ I changed it to foghorn leghorn and will keep it!

Now, now, bro, I told you not to take that to your head. Coming from the voice of experience ... you can take one IQ test and you score 160+, and another you're in the 110's. And oftentimes the one which you scored high in had easier questions (well, duh ... ), so scoring high doesn't make you any smarter.

 

I seriously don't lay much store in IQ tests. You can never measure someone's intelligence, and getting the silly questions right or wrong doesn't make you any smarter or dumber. Nor does it prove that you are as smart or as stupid as so-in-so in history who was supposedly smart or stupid.

 

Another thing ... just how smart are the people who make the tests? For instance, I had to make a screenshot when I got this question:

 

 

See what I mean?

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

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Well we can't gain ground on Houston when we win, maybe a rainout will get us a half game closer!

This. Absolutely this. At best, at very best, it may give an indication whether you have a gas tank. But not whether there's any fuel in it.

Yeah, what a foul-up. When, obviously, the correct answer is that Tim Is Mike.

All right then. I'll wait up. And it being such a nice night, let's play two!

Good some one answered it!

Haha, great. My answer was "they're sisters."
