So you want to be a nerd.

At this point, we must add a paragraph. You see, I'm not allowed to put an active link into the first paragraph of an article. Well, that should do it!

Well, first go to: http://www.femalenerd.com/me/know-nerd.html to see if you are already a nerd.

If you pass that test then you must take one more test: My test!

Here it is:

You know π to 20 decimal places. (3.14159265358979323846)

You know the location of Mymensingh. (Pakistan)

You know that that an atomic submarine passed under the North Pole and not the South Pole. (Antarctica is a continent and a submarine would bump its nose on the continental shelf.)

You know the polar bear population at the South Pole and the Penguin population at the North Pole. (Zero)

You know who Kaiser Wilhelm II called “Grandma.” (Queen Victoria)

You know the countries that border Belarus. (Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland)

You understand the “Uncertainty Principle.” (For a quantum particle such as an electron or photon—“The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa.”)

You know what a “magnetic domain” is. (A magnetic domain is a region in which the magnetic fields of atoms are grouped together and aligned.)

You know that anyone can find the answers to the above questions in seconds by using the Google Search Bar on your computer. (Get it at: http://toolbar.google.com/) If you add the Google Search Bar to your computer you can be as nerdy as you want!

Don’t forget the CIA “World Factbook” for country information. Go to: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/.

Have fun!
