Nerdy to the extreme

Today at lunch I saw the guy who carries a metal Futurama lunchbox and he was wearing a copy of the “White & Nerdy” black hooded sweatshirt from the new “Weird Al” video. It may be the nerdiest combination I’ve seen outside of a Star Trek convention. For those who haven’t seen it: YouTube – [...]
