Nerdiest Thing of the Day

When I was working at the University Press, my boss, without context, said, "I wonder what the molecular structure of silly putty looks like." Thus, the inspiration for the Nerdiest Thing of the Day was born. But here I will only keep track of remarkably nerdy utterances, rather than regular daily posts. I will be on the lookout for nerdiness that I say or hear, and let you kids in on the scoop.
