I have talked quite a few times about humans and nerds and how there are several differences. I know some folk have thought that I am just nuts and we are all in this thing together. Just today a nerd friend of mind sent me the birth announcement of his third grandchild. Let me post it here and then you can tell me if there is a difference or not between nerds and humans.
