Do you know when someone says to someone else "how irrational" I mentally see a square root sign?

In fact in private conversation with other nerds I have even referred to people as irrational numbers or square roots of 2.

(shhh don't tell)

I've loved foxtrot since they did a strip on Scifi cancelling farscape.

Ni!

I've loved foxtrot for 16 years now, plus or minus a little bit depending on exactly when I started reading newspapers, which I can't remember to the exact day [Smile]

Foxtrot, Calvin and Hobbes, and The Far Side are all proof that God loves nerds and wants us to be happy.

My favorite it the one with the chocolate chip cookies.
<--- Is too lazy to look it up.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Okay T_Smith,

I saw that Foxtrot yesterday, but have to admit I didn't get it. My son asked me about it too -- we aren't dummies, and we ARE nerds, so what are we missing here?

Leet or 1337 is a language that geeks use online, it's made up of most everything but text.

He wrote a threat and had his computer automatically translate it into 1337.

Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :

There is also a double entendre with the fact that "Leet" is also short for "elite" as in uberhackers.

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

That's not really a double entendre so much as the origin of the phrase/language name.

So there was a double entendre for the double entendre I just talked about? A second order double entendre! Origin/entendre, its all the same and makes it more interesting when you read the strip.
