My favourite geek valentine is from XKCD. It's called Useless.

Once i right clicked and clicked on show picture, i 'got' most of geckzilla's, but it seems as though I'm not nerdy enough to 'get' your's Rob. I'd ask you to explain it, but i don't think that would work.

Hehe, he can't solve any of the mathematical equations because love cannot be expressed mathematically. But he gave it a good effort.

Like Art, humour is inexplicable.

inexplicable -

• incapable of being explained, interpreted, or accounted for

Yep, that's Art!

That's more of a computer geek valentine than a science nerd one.

Now you got me wondering! What is the difference between a geek and a nerd? So I looked it up! http://www.wikihow.com/Tell-the-Differe ... -and-Geeks
So how can you tell if the valentine is nerdy or geeky?

Oh, Orin, thanks for those! This, from the first link, made me laugh out loud: "Geeks qualify for Mensa; nerds join."

Quite a long time ago, back in the days of cc:Mail, which used white text on a blue background, a friend who also used cc:Mail sent me the following email:
Roses are red,
This screen is cerulean.
This poem is logical
But not very Boolean.

I would never join Mensa, the people are boring, at least the ones I've met. I must be a geek.
On the other hand, I much prefer classical music to techno noise, so I must be a nerd.

I am (or was) a computer programmer and administrator so I fall into both camps.

[geckzilla]

I'm both a nerd and a geek in several regards. Good luck pigeonholing me! My dad had a Mensa book that I read and just thought it was useless intellectual wankery.
