In a team building exercise at uni, we had to do a rating thing of what is the most important 15 items for a crash on the moon (don't ask, stupid exercise if you ask me). The choices were rated against those NASA have said for this eventuality as this sort of thing is routine for them! I had a difference of 50 and we all had to call out what we had, so I said 50, but really 0 as number 1 is a towel. Nerdy but the lecturer got it and had a laugh!

Talking about Morrowind events that I did in such a way as if I were there. LOL

There's others. Some lamer than the rest.

Were the Decepticons really the "bad guys" or were the Autobots just better manipulators?

How can space be filled with nothing and still be expansive?

Intellect versus Emotion.

So on so forth. I've discussed some for hours.

Either anime, WoW or discussing the Zelda timeline. My whole last school year was 1 big nerdfest (it's where I nerdy-fied). It was 1 big collection of nerds really, I was studying Bio-Informatics, and there was 1 big (computer)classroom where everyone sat together (1st graders, 2nd years, 3th and 4th years were usually gone). In 1 corner you could find a group of 2nd years in a circle playing Mario Kart on their DS's, some people playing CoD4, a rather large group talking about WoW (a scary % of people there played MMO's and games in general). *sigh* Good times...good times... I miss those people, first time I felt at home.

In my earth science class, I often spout some very advanced scientific knowledge that impresses most people in the room. They've taken me for a genius, but they sort of just proved them selfs as fools because I just spout the pseudo science from BioShock, Half Life and Mass Effect. (they all think it's real though, including the teacher.)

You read and understood the simarillion? I read the book, but it was som confusing I didn't get much out of it.

OT: I once had a discussion about whether you could detonate bombs in the earth's crust and generate earthquakes.
It does rather take a couple of readings to get the bigger picture ... let's not forget that it's not so much a finished book as a bunch of heavily-edited notes. The stories overlap rather a lot, much like real history does, and of course there are usually at least three differing kingdoms existing at any one time so there's a lot of story going on at relatively the same time

Also having in depth discussions with a friend over what we would like to be if we were ever in the Imperial Guard. I maintain Commisar as I think it's a hilarious idea to shoot people to improve morale.
I'd go for imperial navy personally, they tend to live longer. Entire legions of guardsmen can be wiped out without anybody batting an eyelid, but an Emperor class battleship takes some serious firepower to slag.

See, I have conversations like this every day with my friends. Just last week we were sitting in a pub discussing how best to bring about an airship revolution (spend 10-15 years working in various different industries creating the right conditions), just so we could all retire and become airship pirates! I think we worried everyone else there when we all stood up and raised a toast "To the skies".

In history class my friends and I were talking about Russia and the US in the cold war, then it ended up talking about surviving zombie invasions, suriving the apocalypse. Then the teacher looked at us then I pointed out the window and said "Is that Michael Jackson?" After a bunch of whats, and huhs, I said "Wut? Please continue Mrs. Teacher." I somehow didn't get even scolded for interrupting the class. It was kinda funny, as I don't really feel ashamed if something like that happens.

Sounds good put you always have to worry about warpstorms. Anyway my friend always insists that you'd be a ground trooper, not driving a vehicle. If I could pick I'd be a commisar in a tank so I can yell "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword. But first drive me by that squad I want to improve their morale, this turret should be quite effective".

Also just remembered, I once had an indept discussion with a friend of the top ten rules for marines. Can't remember them other then No.1: Never refer to a sister of battle, as a battle *****, or your battle *****.

Subjects of a few of my papers:

-Freudian analysis of "Born in the U.S.A."
-Neon Genesis Evangelion from a Post-colonial view.
-Queer theory and Cowboy Beebop
-How Beck music videos incorporate Laconic ideology.
-Standard deconstruction of the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland (with a few words about the Disney World version).

it starts to be a game after a while.
You win my life for the Cowboy Bebop thing. :D

3. Genghis Khan > Alexander The Great
i call BS...Alexander was ballin', end of story
I agree. Although Genghis Khan did knock up enough people to be ansestor to .5% of the planet. Which is pretty pimpin'.

But Alexander was smarter, swisher, and more swashbuckling (in a sense) >_> And gayer.

I tend to end up around some monumentally nerdy people. The whole day is filled with gaming and inside puns and jokes. "Roll the dice....no wait put on your glasses first".

i talk about time travel, and the repercussions of it, and why it is only possible to go forward in time and not backwards (probably). a lot.
Time travel will never be invented. If it is, some point in the future, then we would have already met people who had come back. They wouldn't have been able to stay quiet.

They would have gone back to Dallas, in November 1963, stand on the grassy knoll and shout "Duck!" ... Oh, I'm sorry, I must have bypassed my "Good Taste" chip!

Hmmm.

Quoting Red Dwarf. Also pretty nerdy.

Yay new series!
>and why it is only possible to go forward in time and not backwards<

D:!
OK, I brought this up with my friends, and I have a new contender for nerdiest thing I've ever said - my argument that time travel will never happen because we haven't met time travellers from the future was countered by the possibility that perhaps we first need to build, say, a Stargate, which will allow us when we make the time machines further in the future, to access our current time zone, or whatever.

Um, yeah.
