DESPITE having a PhD in MICROBIOLOGY, I am only LIGHTLY nerdy. How can this be? I don't know whether to be pissed or relieved.

how can you not know Maxwell?
*snorting Laugh*
Maxwell was the original nerd "Maxwell was always right, but never could explain why..."
I bet you got the chemistry stuff I missed.
97.....
I'm lucky they let me in public...
I also loved that the put both "the speed of light" and the actual speed of light.. and who would be silly enough to used scientific, then say Km per ..
Calculator questions were great…
Wow! Scary score!
What makes you think I didn't know Maxwell?
I missed major points on the lifestyle choices - I spend less than an hour per day on my computer that's unrelated to work, I don't own a laser printer, telescope or microscope because I can get them all at work (except a telescope, but I live in a big city where one is pretty much useless), my computer only has 512 MB of RAM, I don't have any nerdy mag subscriptions (again, i can get these through work), and yes I did miss one of the chemistry questions - I'm a little rusty on that stuff. Plus I have some friends. My Studly Hubby, who is a physics major, got the exact same score as me and I know he knows Maxwell (and Newton). Plus he used to build computers for a living. Now we can't argue with each other anymore about who is the bigger nerd.
Have you seen the video "White & Nerdy"? My kids and wife were convulsed. They've figured out that it's about me.
Well, I knew that it was a picture of Isaac Newton AND I own two telescopes and a laptop. That may have bumped up my score to 67. This sorts me into the low rank nerd category.
Also, have you ever seen a smiling Vulcan? She must not be a real one.
With all the computer stuff, I figured your Hubby would score higher than you.
There is nothing formerly alive in my office.
I had a half hour discussion about proper ethics about posting to wikipedia
I do have friends.... who enjoy talking about isotopes, or Packet structure, or network work flow management... Wow!! I am nerdy!!
My cycling friends keep emailing me with "I scored a 6" or "I scored a 12"....
I should infect their computers with viruses.
Have a great christmas my lightly nerdy friend!
I scored as a mid-level nerd with 75. How did that happen? They must have found out about the microbiology drinking game that I came up with for the retreat this year!
