Auld Lang Cosine

Today’s episode of Lesser Nerds, says goodbye to 2009. (don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out)  And at the end of the decade, we take a look at some of the worst technological breakthroughs of the last ten years.  Art reviews Avatar.  His review touches on the film’s obvious elements of Emergent materialism and delves into the socio-economic impact of 3D technology while taking into account the long term impact of global box office revenue.

Meanwhile, Crashboy continues to prove himself the brains of the operation by filling us in of what exactly gerontology is, while Art waxes poetic about the new German study declaring staring at breasts is good for you!  Too bad he’s too clueless to know what vaporware is.  The nerds bid adieu to Duke Nukem, who finally bit the dust this year, but declare 2010 the year of the tablet!  We preen at the rather unusual fact that if you google “C3PO fleshlight“, Lessernerds will figure prominently, and in discussing the potential dangers of sex toys, we learn the difference between a “doo doo” and a “hoo haw”.

Finally, the nerds go into the etymological differences between the words “geek” and “nerd”, and in doing so, discover why a psych professor at Bennington is probably both.

    Artie, it’s your Uncle Leo. I can’t believe neither of you boys could explain what a Gerontologist is without referring to Googlepedia. Shameful.

    p.s. call your Mother.

    And another thing, Artie — your friends in the U.S. have “Secretaries” in their cabinet, not Senators. We have Senators up here too. Where was your little friend Crashboy with his Googlepedia that time? Huh?

    Your Aunt Pearl says hello.

    Uncle Leo
