New Heights of Nerdiness

Ok even this one has me creeped out......

MIDAS

Multifunction In-Dorm Automation System





This week the geek farm (MIT) has produced a new low.... They have automated their dorm room. They have basically wired up everything they can.



to a computer



and written a program to manage it.




And if you didn't think that was nerdy enough they are very very very very very very very proud of their 'party' button. BTW it is a must to watch the movie. (don't worry for those at work it is clean)




Ok, now I feel really dirty... I gotta have a shower now.


Oh, the Dad joke (thanks to Sarah)


Keep sending them in or you get my shit jokes...

A stranger walks into a pub, takes a seat at the bar and promptly orders a beer. The barman, his back to the stranger, is pouring the beer when the stranger hears a tiny voice “Like your hair!” The stranger is a little surprised by the barman’s tiny voice but politely replies “thanks”.



The barman gives the stranger the beer, then the stranger hears the voice again. “Good choice!” This time, he sees that the barman did not move his lips at all. Very odd.

The stranger starts drinking his beer when he hears the voice again. “That’s a great watch.” This time, the barman is in the back room and there is no one else at the bar. The stranger peers over the side of the bar but there is no one there. He is very puzzled.



Shortly, he hears the tiny voice again. “What a distinguished gentleman!” The barman being back, the stranger now quiet nervous and cross exclaims to him “What the hell is that tiny bloody voice? Are you having a go at me or something?”



“Oh no sir,” replied the barman. “It’s the nuts. They’re complimentary.”
