Who the hell is buying floppy disks these days?  Apparently enough to keep them thriving… in spite of the fact the nerds now use them as sassy coasters.

Is social networking making our kids anti social?  We pose that question to Wired Magazine’s Ken Denmead, who feels that (in the words of The Who), the kids are alright.

Does Facebook big cheese Mark Zuckerberg believe in privacy? Well, according to one of his colleagues in the Twitterverse… not so much.

Why does Roger Ebert hate 3D so much?  Turns out the Nerds’ favorite film critic thinks two dimensions is fine, thank you very much.

Did homosapiens and neanderthals ever get… busy?  The answer may surprise you (and kinda gross you out)

What would a REAL first person shooter POV look like?  Some obliging Dutch soldiers give us the answer by storming a hijacked ship with HD camcorders strapped to their heads.

Plus, what are the craziest things you can buy on the internet?  Wherefore CNN?  And we answer the question left hanging from last week’s show.. “Who won the damned Chuck Norris books!?”  All  that and more, on the only podcast allowed in Vatican City…. Lesser Nerds.

If that tomato is a bunter and not a gasser, you’d be a Harvey not to make it Endsville, Charley

Chances are, you have no idea what the hell that sentence means — Lord knows, we didn’t. Well it’s a good thing you tuned in this week, so you can get up to speed on your Sinatra-speak.  And in honour of the Chairman himself, it’s bad-ass week here high atop the Flimm Building.  Not being particularly bad ass ourselves, we are happy to bask in the glow of others’ bad assery. First, we take a look at a Cambodian man with perhaps the worst job in the world… poking land mines with a stick.  Tell that to the pilots who have to be the first to fly through the Icelandic volcano cloud.

Of course, we all know these are things Chuck Norris does each day before breakfast, right?  Which got the nerds thinking: where exactly did all these Chuck Norris jokes come from?  Was there a starting point for all this craziness?  Well, a few emails and Skype calls later, we got our answer.

( His name is Ian.)

Now that many of us carry the Internet in our pockets, it seems interactions have changed somewhat, no?  We have a look at 10 things the Internet has killed (and five things it hasn’t), as well as the list of acceptable ways to whip out your smart phone in public.  Besides, what exactly are iPhones good for?  After all, people are dropping prototype 4G versions in bars.  Fortunately, Steve Jobs may not be paying too much attention, seeing as how he’s now trying to worm his way in to the concert ticket business.  We look at Apple’s latest move, as well as the questionable reasons CNN decided this week to report on “friends with benefits.”

Plus, defining “erotic capital,” why it’s fashionable to stick wax up your nose, and what John Cleese spent $5000 on this week (it wasn’t a dead parrot).  All that and more, on “Betty White’s favorite podcast” — Lesser Nerds.
