Share your nerdiest moments

[n yusef]

Well, my girlfriend and I are probably the two biggest Harry Potter geeks this side of the Atlantic, and one of our first dates was to the midnight release party of the fifth HP book at the Borders in downtown Boston. There was a contest to see who was the nerdiest of the nerds there, with trivia questions about the four previous books, where you competed in teams of two. We won, of course but I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed of myself.

When I was in college, I threw a block of sodium metal in the campus lake..... I wanted to see a big boom.... Unfortunately, because the metal was drenched in mineral oil (the way sodium metal is typically stored), its just skirted around on the surface of the lake for about 10 minutes (it was a BIG block of sodium)...

That is AWESOME. Where did you score that?

I was a chemistry major, so it was pretty easy to get a hold of....
