WHAT MAKES A NURD MOST
---------------------------------------
The other day, before the awsome and wild picnic, my sister asked me, "Why
are you going to that stupid picnic. It's just going to be a Nurd Convention.
" After asking why she thought that we were all nurds, she replied, "Anyone
that uses computers is a nurd." I thought that over for a while, and figured,
I'm not a nurd, (I hope) let's see how the other users turn out. Well, she was
wrong. I met very few true nurds at the picnic. (a lot of strange people, but
not too many nurds.) This led me to a deep, soul-searching quest to find out
just what a 'true' nurd is. I searched long and hard, all over the globe until
I found the answer. It came to me, not in a dream, but in a newspaper article.
This glorious article described a true nurd perfictly. I feel that it is my
duty to share parts of that article with you. So, here is the description of a
purebred nurd.

Okay, so we all have a few of these qualities, but if you have twelve or
