Look, Nerd, Get Him!

Years ago the nerd would, in extreme situations, be hunted down and killed for his not being manly enough; that was in the age of the cave-man nerd—the nerd who, instead of going out hunting with the rest of the men, stayed back at camp and tried to work out what was interesting about a stone shaped like a disc–.
Then came more freakish nerd incantations, and, after great evolution, a race of glasses wearing skinny misfits—their only purpose in life to be picked on for being ‘too clever’. And also to provide folly for muscle-bound jocks in bad
And now here we are in this nerd-friendly age, who would have thought that day would ever come?
Nowadays nerds–even in large numbers, an un thinkable concept when the nerds first escaped from the holes–can walk down the street safe in the knowledge that their intelligence will not be turned against them. Mostly.
Now, unbelievably, web-sites have cropped up which are entirely aimed at the nerd / geek community. One such site is Gizmodo.com and it is smashing. As long as you have a bit of nerd blood in you. Otherwise I suggest you keep well clear!
Finally, getting to the point, Gizmodo reviews and rates products which are a nerd’s wet dream: things like arm-chairs which function as a jet-pack, balloons designed for the most pathetic pair of lungs to blow up, and shopping trolleys built with the finest smooth no-resistance bearings so that even the weakest of nerds can push one around the supermarket and not reveal his true colours.
In other words, if you want to be like Stephen Hawking–as in, if you want a fancy chair–then get your scrawny but to Gizmodo.com!
