Please do note that:<p>1) Not all people on HN are American, not all on HN describe themselves as "nerds". In some parts of the world where intellectualism is more welcome, intellectuals are looked upon with admiration, rather than contempt (even by pretty girls).<p>2) Since I love all things Math, Physics and CS, I guess I, too, am a "nerd". However, I must say that I always found <i>Star Wars</i> nauseatingly distasteful and unimaginative. Nothing more than a girlfriend-replacement to some of you socially awkward unfortunates who had a bad time in American high schools and, consequently, grew up emotionally retarded.<p>Cheers y'all!
