I am such a nerd




I actually laughed out loud when I read this.

Oh good, I'm not the only one.

What I want to know is where Newton got those bitchin' shades in the 1600s.

It is so perfect.

And I wonder the same thing!

Newton did a ton of optics (er.. Optiks) work. I'm sure he had a buddy down at the Ray Ban shop.

I didn't get the Miami CSI reference because I think that's the only CSI show I have not been subjected to by my father during my visits as he HATES David Caruso. I had to dig through the xkcd comments to find out what that was all about. Then I saw a clip of him in action and understood immediately why my dad refuses to watch it.

But yes, I enjoyed the nerd joke anyway. :)

Yeah, Caruso is one of the worst actors out there. But he has the good sense to stand next to some fairly good ones.

[livejournal.com profile] bertine I have 2 free tickets for the Vikings game tonight that I'm not going to be able to use. If you are interested in them shoot me an email to cwbetz@mchsi.com. They are ticketmaster tickets so I can just email them to you. If you don't want them but know somebody that might let me know. No sense and leaving empty seats.

I am not interested because I am not that huge of a football fan and it is so last minute I don't think we would get there until pretty late (Zach need to shower and stuff).
