    Anybody who thinks that's 'Van Cleef' needs to stop playing WoW forever.

    That's hitting below the belt :) Hey, nice call on that. The Van Cleef nation rules!!!!! (1665 and on!)

  2. Nerds, Geeks, Dweebs, Dorks and Beautiful People on "Revenge of the Nerds" Remake Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Well, you got the Nerds, The Geeks, the Dweebs and the Beautiful People.

    My 10 year old daughter was explaining the difference to me recently.

    I thin kthe order of preference is

    1> The Beautiful People
    2> Nerds
    3> Geeks
    4> Dweeb

    She showed me a Ven diagram she made.

    Disconnected, of course. One circle was the Beautiful people, the other was
    an interesection of the Nerds and the Geeks. And she said where the nerds and geeks overlapped, well, those
    were the Dweebs.

    So, no nerds, geeks or dweebs are beautiful people, but some nerds are geeks, and vice versa, and those are the dweebs.

    Oh, and then there were the Dorks. Dorks were subsets of the Dweebs? Or maybe disconected from them all. It's all so confusing.

    Greenland wasn't given that name as some sort of horrible joke.

    Nonsense. Greenland was named greenland BECAUSE it was ice, and Iceland was named such BECAUSE it was green. They did it to try to fool early explorers.
