The Illustrated History of the Nerd

I found this really really fun site:

www.purpleslinky.com

It contains lots of strange, interesting, sometimes ridiculous information that will make you spend days reading through their material. A few headlines:

Five Mad Scientists Who Went Too Far in the Name of Science

Do Disney Girls Just Go Bad, or Are They Drawn That Way?

Top Five Bizarre Accidents

Most of all I enjoyed the entry called "A Short Illustrated History of the Nerd". It's a funny collection of "facts" and photos that are nerd-centered. You know, the kind of stuff that makes you laugh loudly at work and send the link as quickly as possible to a dozen friends (yes, 100% nerds also add the link to their Messenger status - I've seen people adding such links in their mail signatures but somehow this seems a bit too much).

So here goes:

My favorite is the "Nerd Cake" on page 2. Yummy, right?

Enjoy.
