  1. Nerds on NY Comic Con Takes Over Attendees' Twitter Accounts To Praise Itself · · Score: 1, Funny

    Let's face it, we are talking nerds, so in some sense no real harm was done, just maintaining the pecking order.

    I agree to disagree. "The fact of evolution is incontrovertible and supported by mounds of empirical evidence." But faith is controvertible and supported by mounds of empirical evidence, so what?

    Take off his clothes, keep the light on, and check every half hour if he is still a full 18 on the Glasgow Coma Scale. I love that scale: "Purposeful movement to painful stimulus" = 5 and "Withdraws from pain" = 4 but no we won't do that just "Obeys commands for movement" = 6
