nerds unite!

for the geography nerds like me here's some fun. of course it might help to be american. i got 94% in 193 seconds with an average error of 7 miles. not too shabby if i do say so myself.

I got 98%, avg error 5 miles. And I am Canadian! :-)

I kept getting interrupted and tried to take it 3 times before I could actually finish the 4th. I did horribly on te 1st 2, and I apparently don't give a rat's ass where Delaware is because I got THAT one wrong by up to 500 miles on all 4 tests. In the one I finished I ended up with 90% and 23 miles BUT that was after three unfinished ones that were kinda practice.

Merry Christmas, all ye in Corsica!

I had to do it a few times, but I ended up with 100% in 221 seconds. Is it sad that the biggest thrill of my day was putting those middle states in exactly the right spot with nothing around them?

[cara]

not sad at all, mary. just means i get to add you to my group of known nerds. same goes for you guys, shiz and david. woot.

[aleck pants]

can i be in the nerd club? on my second try i got 92% in 144 seconds with an 11 mile error...it would have been near perfect, though, if kansas hadnt been such an asshat of a state. grrr to kansas. and mary, im officially and truly jealous of your 100%. makes me say grrr at me. cause i know know know i couldve done it but oh the heck well. (grrr.)

[cara]

i think, perhaps, aleck pants you are too cool to be in the nerd club throwing around fancy terms like 'asshat.' i would've been really boring and just called kansas 'stupid.'

what is an asshat anyway? my ass doesn't wear a hat and i don't think i have ever seen anyone else's ass wear a hat either. if someone has ever seen an hat on an ass, please let me know. i must know. (hat on an ass almost sounds dr. seussish.)

[jared]

you know, it's a term i came in contact with through a good friend of mine. i guess the idea of a hat for an ass is, well, asinine. Which just goes to show that poeple and things that are asshats are being fatuitous and, as you put it, stupid.
kansas was indeed being stupid. stupid kansas. or me. i guess.
anyways im all sad now to think im too cool for y'all. does it help if i feel like im a nerd? or at least a good percentage nerd?

[aleck jared]

um, i am both aleck and jared. apparently. ahem.

[Shiz]

I think the term came from That 70's Show, where Red keeps threatening that Eric will "Be wearing his ass as a hat." That show has really made important strides in making the words "ass" and "dumbass" a lot more popular.

[cara]

thank you shiz. as always you are a fountain of knowledge.

[jared]

well?! cara?! have you decided if i can be in the club?! im all tingly with suspense over here...

[Shiz]

I aim to please!

[cara]

sheesh. well. nerds are not usually known by so many names...aleck jared, jared, aleck pants, skippy pants. i think you may have to just stick to one. like cher, madonna, cara, shiz. you see? but as you have shown enough insecurity and desire to belong...sure you can be in the nerd club. as long as you keep your tingling to yourself :0

[jared]

well, mary's in the club and she has at least as many names as i so it's only fair you should let me in, too. anyways, thanks for admitting me, it's nice to not be a nerd reject.
