		<description><![CDATA[<p>This week we dive right in to the nerdy goodness with a British survey that asked women about their sex lives.  The result&#8230; a lot of them think the boys should put down the smart phones and pick up on the non verbal cues.  But that didn&#8217;t surprise the nerds nearly as much as the survey that found 10% of people under 25 think it&#8217;s ok to text during sex!! (What exactly would you need to tell anyone at that point?)  Speaking of sex, it&#8217;s also the 50th anniversary of The Pill. We pause and bow our heads to that tiny little miracle which we also discover was invented by a devout Catholic!</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s when things start to get a bit creepy&#8230; Crashboy introduces us to the Florida airport security worker who took a riot baton to his co workers after they made fun of his &#8230; riot baton.  Then Art takes us into the depths of the interweb to view the dubious offerings at &#8220;Crabrevenge&#8220;.  And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, both the nerds get the willies at the latest offering on ThinkGeek, the &#8220;Tell Me Your Secrets&#8221; Bear.</p>
<p>To make up for the creepiness, we look at Cupidtino, the new dating site for Mac heads, and marvel at the creator of a YouTube baby announcement video, who somehow managed to sneak away from his video editing software just long enough to create a few kids.</p>
<p>Plus, why you should quit Facebook, real life porn parodies, why Gilligan&#8217;s Island may not be as shallow as you thought, and what exactly is the beef train? (no, it&#8217;s not that).  All that and more on the official podcast of ROFLCon, Lesser Nerds.</p>

		<itunes:summary>This week we dive right in to the nerdy goodness with a British survey that asked women about their sex lives.  The result... a lot of them think the boys should put down the smart phones (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/7672392/Women-blame-BlackBerrys-and-iPhones-for-poor-sex-life.html) and pick up on the non verbal cues.  But that didn&#039;t surprise the nerds nearly as much as the survey that found 10% of people under 25 think it&#039;s ok to text during sex!! (http://mashable.com/2010/05/05/texting-during-sex/) (What exactly would you need to tell anyone at that point?)  Speaking of sex, it&#039;s also the 50th anniversary of The Pill. (http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1983712,00.html#ixzz0nWygOkjB) We pause and bow our heads to that tiny little miracle which we also discover was invented by a devout Catholic!

And that&#039;s when things start to get a bit creepy... Crashboy introduces us to the Florida airport security worker who took a riot baton to his co workers (http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/05/06/1617423/miami-airport-screener-beats-co.html#ixzz0nWyb5LSx) after they made fun of his ... riot baton.  Then Art takes us into the depths of the interweb to view the dubious offerings at &quot;Crabrevenge (http://www.crabrevenge.com/)&quot;.  And if that wasn&#039;t enough, both the nerds get the willies at the latest offering on ThinkGeek, the &quot;Tell Me Your Secrets&quot; Bear (http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/secrets-bear.shtml?cpg=cj&amp;cpg=cj).

To make up for the creepiness, we look at Cupidtino (http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2010/05/07/a-dating-site-for-apple-fans-only/), the new dating site for Mac heads, and marvel at the creator of a YouTube baby announcement video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snp3rHDHwPg&amp;feature=player_embedded), who somehow managed to sneak away from his video editing software just long enough to create a few kids.

Plus, why you should quit Facebook (http://gizmodo.com/5530178/), real life porn parodies (http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-05-04/real-life-porn-parodies/?cid=hp:beastoriginalsC1), why Gilligan&#039;s Island may not be as shallow (http://www.boingboing.net/2010/05/05/scholarly-essay-nail.html) as you thought, and what exactly is the beef train (http://www.physorg.com/news191855316.html)?

Who the hell is buying floppy disks these days (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8646699.stm)?  Apparently enough to keep them thriving... in spite of the fact the nerds now use them as sassy coasters.

Why does Roger Ebert hate 3D (http://www.newsweek.com/id/237110) so much?  Turns out the Nerds&#039; favorite film critic thinks two dimensions is fine, thank you very much.

Did homosapiens and neanderthals ever get... busy?  The answer (http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2010/0429/Study-suggests-humans-mated-with- Neanderthals) may surprise you (and kinda gross you out)

<p>And if iPads aren&#8217;t up your alley, maybe you&#8217;d like to know what former employees of super secretive Area 51 are saying, now that their 50 years of secrecy are up.  Or perhaps you&#8217;d like to know the latest disturbing trend in suicide bombing? Hint &#8212; if Pamela Anderson is sitting beside you on a plane&#8230; be very afraid.</p>
<p>Art was right &#8212; it turns out the 3D revolution might just be driven by porn after all.  We look at that, as well as the teenager who got a very public and jaw-dropping revenge on his sister for ratting-out his secret stash of beer.</p>

After all, over the last 100 years, we&#8217;ve been promised several technologies that just never happened.  Author Paul Milo drops by the Flimm Building to talk to the nerds about why he wanted to be a space trucker, as well as other topics from his new book, <em>Your Flying Car Awaits</em>.</p>
<p>We look at the &#8220;Twoddler&#8221;, a stunning and promising new technology that will be obsolete by the time you read this.  If so, it will join the list of everyday things that have become extinct over the last decade.</p>
<p>Art Carlson confesses his desire to get an ultraviolet tattoo, while Crashboy reciprocates by confessing his crush on the girl who builds Millennium Falcon beds (the show&#8217;s not called &#8220;Lesser Nerds&#8221; for nothing).</p>
<p>We also look at rhinos, cougars and swine flu. Just in time for the holidays!</p>
