I'll start.

What was the average Kill/Death Ratio of the 300 Spartans?

Obviously the deaths will be 1 but what about the kills?

Now present nerdy facts, questions and answers to other's nerdy questions (if you got them).
Actually all but 1 Spartan of the original 300 died.
But there was actually 302 Spartans Leonidas's 300 'bodyguards' the Captain guy and Leonidas.
And more importantly there were actually 1000 soldiers there fighting with the Spartans after he sent the other few thousand back to protect their cities. So the total ends up being that theer were about 1300 fighting the Persians

I've got another!

The first Angel was Adam, and appeared as a giant of light with four separate wings at Antarctica, during the blast that was effectively Second impact. The second Angel was Lilith, whom appears as a white, legless giant with Seele's emblem on it's face. It is located at Terminal Dogma, crucified and with tubes coming out of it. Lilith's blood is used as LCL.

Now that's pretty damn nerdy.

Who the hell thinks he's called Dark Vader? o_O
That's a damn good question! Whoever thinks he's called "Dark" Vader needs to be slapped.
Actually, I read somewhere that the name Darth Vader was based on the words "Dark Father" by Lucas himself, which kind of reflect the character's concept (at least for the first three movies made that is).

How's that for nerdy knowledge? : )

(and im not even that big of a Star Wars buff at all, yet still I pick shit like this up XD)

"Beam me up Scotty" was never used in Star Trek in exactly those words, in niether the TV series or the films.
Really?! Then why is the term so popular!?

Is it like the "Danger, Will Robbins!" thing that was actually only used once in the whole series but is quite well known?
"Elementary, my dear Watson." It doesn't appear in the books.

On a ten dollar australian note, in tiny, tiny writing, there are the lyrics to waltzing matilda. If you have a magnifying glass and a note.. have a look. :)

You can nearly make it out with just your eyes, but it's pretty ludicrously small.

here are mine:

Floccinaucinihilipilification, the declaration of an item being useless, is the longest non-medical term in the English language.

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

and for all you coffee drinkers:

There are more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these, only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in rats.

I actually said this to 2 people talking about big frogs or toads and what sound they make. I can't remember exactly what I said but it was something like:

"Actually the frog/toad you're referring to is called the Gargantuan Frog/Toad and it is mute."

Well that's kind of a trap because if you know the answer is 42 that makes you a nerd....damn it i'm a nerd lol

OP: Han Solo says "it's the ship that made the kessle run in less than 12 parsects" Parsects are a measure of distance, however, this DOES make sence.
The Kessle Run is a series of black holes, because the closer you get to a black hole, the more the gravitational pull, so the faster your ship, the closer you can get to the black holes.
Therfore making it in 12 parsects means the ship is so fast, he can travel within twelve parsects of a black hole, and not get sucked in.

...you're welcome...

They changed how warp drive worked from TOS to TNG making warp 10 an ever expanding impossible speed were as in TOS and movies they did over warp 10 may time, including time warp, also the constitution class of the enterprise (one on TOS) was designed to have the sauser come off but since the show was canceled they never showed it thus making it first appreence on TNG with the galaxy class and is unknown weather the sovereign class can (TNG movies past generations)
