you know you're a nerd when...

<ol>
<li>you watch the history channel to relax. ddammit. I thought this was the in-thing to do. </li>
</ol>

<p>i fricking love when i get enough time to watch marathons of this. i love 1920's on the history channel.</p>

<p>this one saturday there was a show on for about five hours that just went through all the presidents and talked about what they did. and i watched the whole thing. it was awesome :)</p>

<p>the only problem with the history channel is that sometimes i think they should just change their name to the weaponry-of-world-war-II channel because it seems like every time i turn it on there's a show on japanese/american/german subs/armies/planes/battles.</p>

<p>i'm sick of those ones too.</p>

<p>i never got all the president ones</p>

<p>omg. i really wanted to. watched it in class once and i LOVED it. never caught another episode of it. i watch it randomly though. they had one of rockefeller once and oh man it was sooo cool.</p>

<p>oh my god. what am i saying.</p>

<p>When you watch a movie with friends and start debating part-way through about some miniscule irrelevant detail.</p>

<p>My friends and I were watching Underworld, and when silver nitrate was mentioned, I said the formula for it was AgNO3. That lead to another friend questioning the charge on NO3, and then the solubility of NO3 compounds...</p>

<p>When you google a picture of Neils Bohr in his younger years, instead of josh hartnett.</p>

<p>And you know that you are a serious nerd when you don't even know who josh hartnett is..</p>

<p>Whoever mentioned making up songs for math was right on target. There's so many I used for biology. Examples:</p>

<p>To the tune of "When Johnny comes marching home":
Organic chem is easy to learn, hurrah, hurrah,
Organic chem is easy to learn, hurrah, hurrah,
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and fats,
Nucleic acids, now you've got the facts... </p>

<p>To the tune of "Jingle Bells":
Choroplasts in the leaves are food factories
taking in the CO2 and making food to please...</p>

<p>Another one to a tune I can't remember:
I'm a little glucose molecule,
I'm made of carbon, H, and O
I've got lots of energy locked up in me,
add oxygen and you can make some ATP
First, pyruvic acid I become
and then the Krebs cycle will start
All this when you take me apart!</p>

<p>I had a lot more than these excerpts, of course. :D</p>

<p>You know you're a nerd when you're angry and it makes you want to go to the library.</p>

<p>Another one to a tune I can't remember:
I'm a little glucose molecule,
I'm made of carbon, H, and O
I've got lots of energy locked up in me,
add oxygen and you can make some ATP
First, pyruvic acid I become
and then the Krebs cycle will start
All this when you take me apart!</p>

<p>(Reading it, I got this goes to I'm a Little Teapot rhyme)</p>

<p>You debate time and demensions as part of regular conversations and wonder if there really is a number of dimensions exactly, and if so, what the 7th one Einstien found is, whether time governs motion or motion governs time, you get the drift... :)</p>

<p>you have Mole Day & Pi Day as two of the most important days of the year, can't forget Phi day either (Jan. 6, or if you wanna be crazy January 61 (March 2, March 1 on Leap Years).)</p>

<p>you talk about how great the #42 is and get mad when somebody doesn't understand 42's omniscient powers, and give them the whole series.</p>

<p>you can name all the chemical elements in order with sheer confidence which doesn't exist when speaking to the opposite sex.</p>

<p>you either love or hate Bill Gates.</p>

<p>The geek shall rule the earth!!</p>

<p>You made up e day (feb. 7!). yeah 2.71....! :p</p>

<p>You sign yearbooks in binary.</p>

<p>Thanks, TuftsPlease. I think that's the tune!</p>

<p>We had mole day at my school!!!!! In my sophomore chemistry class we sewed moles out of fabric and gave them different outfits for a theme. Mine was Brother Mole, so he was dressed in a monk's habit. :cool:</p>

<p>I have a biology song!! It's to the tune of the Jingle Bells chorus.</p>

<p>"ATP, ATP, gives us energy,
Resperate, fermentate, both metabolate--hey!"
(repeat until teacher is stuck between pride and annoyance)</p>

<p>That's from my AP Bio class last year. There's verses describing each stage of glycolysis, but they aren't as catchy. We made it up in December and were still singing it in June. Even now, in Calc, I'll sing it under my breath to my friend, who'll whisper the "hey!"s with me.</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>when you hear yourself say "omg I actually got 5 whole hours of sleep last night"</p>

<p>today we had a pep rally and we had a competition between the classes in tug of war. one of the first thoughts that ran through my mind was physics and resultant forces and stuff.</p>

<p>I have almost all of these that others have mentioned (including the Josh Harnett one)</p>

<p>(my 1 and 2 already in thread)</p>

<p>3.) When your bookmarked pages are google, Webster's website, and three separate math camps.</p>

<p>4.) When you make up songs about water and even scare the other nerds at chemistry camp:</p>

<p>Hydrogen Oxide
You are my liquicide
I need you to survive</p>

<p>Without you I would die
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
Without you I would die
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my Oh my</p>

<p>You are so much etter than Sprite
Which has such a bite
Because of all that carbon dioxide</p>

<p>Without you I would die
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
Without you I would die
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my Oh my</p>

<p>You are a polar molecule...</p>

<p>5.) When you and your friends correct the lyrics “Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me” to make them “Do you not wish that your girlfriend were as physically attractive as I am”</p>

<p>6.) When you and a friend make up the beginnings of an American History song:</p>

<p>Part I: The Discovery
In the beginning, there was unconquered land
The natives lived peacefully with occasional warring
Then one day a young lad asked King Ferdinand
If he could go exploring
Then the young Columbus gathered up a crew
They started sailing through the oceans blue
They brought death and terror
Upon the people (of America)…</p>

<p>Yeah, the song is terrible, but it sounded really cool when we made the music on garage band.</p>

<p>7.) When you talk about how you were “High on History” when you wrote the above song</p>

<p>8.) When you come up with other phrases similar to “High on History”, like “Buzzed on Biology”, Mashed on Math”, etc.</p>

<p>9.) When you write about amoebas (in Spanish) on your Spanish textbook</p>

<p>10.) When you take the time to actually write posts like this one</p>

<p>Oh, and when you read posts like the one above and think "What a loser", but it's your post! :)</p>

<p>3.) When your bookmarked pages are google, Webster's website, and three separate math camps.</p>

<p>Wiki.</p>

<p>Yemaya, I have a water song too!!!</p>

<p>Little water molecule (shooby doo wah)
You sure are special to me-eee (shooby doo wah)
Your H to O covalent bonds
enable all life to be-eee.</p>

<p>Your heat of vaporization is high (shooby doo wah)
moderating our earth (shooby doo wah)
Your capillary action is how
plants get their girth...</p>

<p>I can't remember the rest. :)</p>
