WHAT MAKES A NURD MOST
|
||
---------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
The other day, before the awsome and wild picnic, my sister asked me, "Why
|
||
are you going to that stupid picnic. It's just going to be a Nurd Convention.
|
||
" After asking why she thought that we were all nurds, she replied, "Anyone
|
||
that uses computers is a nurd." I thought that over for a while, and figured,
|
||
I'm not a nurd, (I hope) let's see how the other users turn out. Well, she was
|
||
wrong. I met very few true nurds at the picnic. (a lot of strange people, but
|
||
not too many nurds.) This led me to a deep, soul-searching quest to find out
|
||
just what a 'true' nurd is. I searched long and hard, all over the globe until
|
||
I found the answer. It came to me, not in a dream, but in a newspaper article.
|
||
This glorious article described a true nurd perfictly. I feel that it is my
|
||
duty to share parts of that article with you. So, here is the description of a
|
||
purebred nurd.

=======================================
|
||
|
||
Okay, so we all have a few of these qualities, but if you have twelve or
|
||
more, consider yourself a nurd.
|
||
|
||
And watch out, they're out there.
