And as if we needed to prove our geek bona fides, the nerds profess a passion for a remote control Millennium Falcon.

A plethora of Lesser Nerds updates came across our desk here high atop the Flimm Building this week. The first tells us the news that William Shatner has been cast as the dad on the upcoming “Shit My Dad Says” – a development Crashboy welcomes with open arms, and Art welcomes with closed nose. The second tells us whether or not Crashboy’s middle school nemesis is a grown up “vajazzler“. And finally, we give away the “Texts From Last Night” books from last week’s contest. (turns out Lesser Nerds has quite a few lady listeners! Who knew.)

Speaking of the ladies, we take a moment this week to tip our hats and note the passing of Ronald Howes, the inventor of the Easy Bake oven.

But we also celebrate a bit of life, acknowledging the 20th birthday of Adobe Photoshop (also known as Adobe Photoshop Software©… all rights reserved).

The nerds speculate on the ethnic background of the name “The Edge”, while learning U2′s lead guitarist is cutting part of the California coast away in a veiled attempt to live up to his name. Maybe he can move in with the members of the Mars Society, who are currently proving that Belgians might not be the best choice for a trip to the red planet.

All this, plus the M.I.T sex survey, and what will hopefully be the one and only mention of Pauly Shore on the podcast (we promise).

For the first, we go to Austria to speak with Gordo and Walter the creators of the Web 2.0 Suicide machine, who give us an update on when and how they’ll break through Facebook’s attempt to block them.

Then Art has a few words for the haters who think it’s pointless telling everyone you’re wearing a leopard skin bra as a way to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Crashboy tells us how to win a fistfight, drive a stick, and a few more of the 50 things everyone should know how to do.

Fortunately “Fight off an attacking shark” is no longer one of them since scientists are now getting sharks to text them when they come too close to shore.

We also discuss the quick appearance and disappearance of the trailer for The A-Team, and why Crashboy spent most of his summers in a rural hippie love cult.  And if you think we made it through an entire episode without linking sex and Star Wars… think again.

Plus, Ask Art, Uncle Leo, and a preview or our upcoming special Live on Location episode!

But in looking for something to live for, we come across the charms of Texas native Kayla Kromer, who drops by the Lesser Nerds studio to discuss exactly what compelled her to build a hamburger bed, a Millennium Falcon bed, and why she may be the only person in North America with a passion for Jar Jar Binks (but Crashboy is too shy to ask her what SHE thinks of the man who does Star Wars body paint – NSFW).

Crashboy tells us why kids today expected more technological advancements by now, while Art tells us why the senior circuit is quite fine with tech today, thank you very much.  Too bad they probably won’t be around to experience the advent of light emitting walls.

And we speculate on exactly what kind of coffin would be suitable for the late great Curtis Allina, inventor of the modern Pez dispenser (and yes, you’ll be able to see the punchline coming down Broadway).

We look at the “Twoddler”, 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.

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’s not called “Lesser Nerds” for nothing).

We also look at rhinos, cougars and swine flu. Just in time for the holidays!
