I'm just glad that you got it and the right way too  I meant no offense.
As a matter of fact I have a sometimes GF that has an admitted fetish for my "nerdiness". I think it stems from my "breeding" a functional dependence on me to teach her to operate all the electronic crap she buys for her house.
I was asked the other evening to "talk nerdy" and all I could come up with quickly was
"I think the first flyswatters were probably nothing more than a striking surface attached to a long stick"
Help me, I need some new material  |
I find going off on explanatory tangents about how simple things work really helps. Like if there's a partial moon tell her something like "well, you know, you should really try and visualize the moon and the earth in 3d space relative to the sun. Then you can see that the moon is really just like a tennis ball lit by a flashlight and you can even see which direction the sun must be because of what side is lit. Pretty cool, the sun must be over thata way, even though it's night and we can't see it." Oh, man, that gets the romance going. Women love *nothing* more than extended discussions of 3d spatial geometry alone of an evening whilst starring at the moon.

My favorite ....
There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary notation, and those who do not.  |
Three Caltech professors, a biologist, physicist and a mathematician are chatting while people watching in a courtyard someplace. Two people go into a room and a little while later, three emerge. The biologist says "a ha: biology - that's an example of reproduction!" "Not so," says the physicist, "it's quantum mechanics - tunneling suggests that whilst unlikely, it's possible for there to be fluctuations in the number of observables." Then all of a sudden another person goes into the room. The mathematician gets all excited "you see, it balances now."
