American Nerd Survey #36 11.28.05
Hit us with the deepest thought you can muster.

Keith Pille: Your entire lifestyle, with its massive infrastructure to provide with you easy access to food, a heated home, all sorts of electronic amusements, and a medical system to heal you up in case of emergency, is an enormous historical abberation. For at least two-thirds of the existence of the universe, there was no Earth. For the vast majority of the history of Earth, there were no humans. For the preponderance of time humans have been around, the biggest chunk was spent in a pre-civilized state. Everything that seems completely natural to you has only been around for an eyeblink in big-picture terms. Shit, most of the gadgets in your living room weren't even science fiction a hundred years ago.

Dude, I just blew your mind.


Don Pizarro: Charlie Parker once said, "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." My corollary has always been, "The way you do live, does."

 

Simon Riordan: Even though I've just begun, my work here is almost done.

Note: I made this up in the 4th grade while I was on my paper route.

 

Grant Weeks: A babe in the kitchen is worth two on the beach.
