The False Modesty of 'Nerds'

Wait-wait-wait, gotta give examples. It helps complete the image. Nerd: Kurt Gödel, an introverted genius who became so obsessed with his mathematical proofs that he starved to death. Friend of Albert Einstein, a better-known nerd who was not so introverted. Geek: That kid from school who could tell you every last detail about a video game, collectible card game, or anime series? Yeah. Him. Also the guy who memorizes sports stats and plays fantasy football daily(He's under the protective sports umbrella, though). Dork: John Arbuckle. Socially inept and burdened with obscure and eccentric interests. Also Napoleon Dynamite; need I say more? Disclaimer: I'm probably all three. I'd like to *think* I'm not too much of a dork, though...
