1. Ha! The world wide web is so fun and absurd.

2. Obvious joke was obvious. Does the internet turn people into morons?

Like someone would take a picture of a random guy and post "Hey! Look at this random guy working on his computer! Nerd!"

It's hilarious and sad at the same time how Twitter creates these massive dogpiles of angry mouthbreathers chomping at the bit to spew a string of swears and death threats out at the next acceptable target.

8. reminds me of GD

10. I have to laugh at how quickly so many of them LEAP to NDT's

defense by acting like absolute morons~! They go straight to the crass sexual references, calling the tweeter the a, b and c words, and insisting that the tweeter should be sucking his d rather than tweeting about him!

I'm betting NDT doesn't need that kind of defense...! Never mind that the entire tweet was "ironic."

Look--it's some old lady in a church hat photobombing!!!!

3. So he should have had a #sarcasm tag?

[MADem]

13. Apparently so!!!!

The "nerds" defending NDT clearly needed the visual cue!

5. Using a laptop on the subway is a good way to get robbed

7. Naw, I can tell he is capable of my Dads glare...

He used it one time when I was a kid and got a guy who was going to cut in at a four way stop. The guy not only stopped, he backed up and waited. I was impressed.

Dad was a first order nerd, head of the instrument lab at Sperry/Univac/Uinisys military systems division and designed wind sensors for other countries military aircraft and other stuff he couldn't talk about when he worked after retiring from Unisys at age 55. He also was a great neighbor, Dad, friend. Lion, and mentor etc (but you just couldn't ask him how to spell anything.)

9. I've got a sister...

... who resembles your dad in so many ways. The techy stuff (she is a scientist), the glare (and she has a bad mouth on her too if you cross her), right down to the spelling. Bet you can barely read your dad's handwriting, either, huh? But God do we love 'em! Go Nerds!

6. I am neither a nerd and my knowledge of science is minimal

but I new how that was in the photo before I read the article and the tweeter was joking. I guess that makes me smarter than a whole bunch of nerds.

11. Am I the only one who notices that he has a big bag of blue Heisenberg meth?

15. Good eye! He's bringing it to Gus for distribution...
