The Wiretap Intercept No. 061121
opinions and skeptical speculations too small to fit into an Industry Gadfly column

OK, so this isn't exactly an EDA topic -- but as an electrical engineer, this
new Weird Al Yankovic parody was simply too funny to not share:

            

The visuals in the video are a hoot.  Loved the subtle glowing red Pac Man
silhouette in the early background.  I'm still trying to ID the people in his
MySpace "top eight" spaces.  I see Bill Gates, Einstein, and Peewee Herman,
but who are the other 5?  I can't figure out what that differential equation
is in that later white background is all about.  Maybe it's a fluid dynamics
thing because is doesn't appear to be one of Maxwell's equations.  Or is it?

If you're like me, you'll have even more fun following it a second time with
the lyrics available.  It's really clever & funny!  I personally know people
who are exactly like this!  ROTFLOL!


      "White & Nerdy" by Weird Al Yankovic

      They see me mowin' my front lawn 
      I know they're all thinkin' I'm so 
      White and nerdy 

      Think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      Think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      Can't you see I'm white and nerdy 
      Look at me I'm white and nerdy 

      I wanna roll with the gangstas 
      But so far they all think I'm too 
      White and nerdy 

      Think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      I'm just too white and nerdy 
      Really, really white and nerdy 

      First in my class here at M.I.T. 
      Got skills, I'm a champion at D&D 
      M.C. Escher, that's my favorite M.C. 
      Keep you're 40, I'll just have an Earl Grey tea 
      My rims never spin, to the contrary 
      You'll find that they're quite stationary 
      All of my action figures are cherry 
      Stephen Hawking's in my library 

      My MySpace page is all totally pimped out 
      Got people beggin' for my top eight spaces 
      Yo, I know pi to a thousand places 
      Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces 
      I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise 
      I'm a wiz at Minesweeper, I could play for days 
      Once you've see my sweet moves, you're gonna stay amazed 
      My fingers movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze 

      There's no killer app I haven't run (run) 
      At Pascal, well I'm number one (one) 
      Do vector calculus just for fun 
      I ain't got a gat, but I got a soldering gun (what?) 
      Happy Days is my favorite theme song 
      I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong 
      I'll ace any Trivia quiz you bring on 
      I'm fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon 

      Here's the part I sing on... 

      You see me roll on my Segway 
      I know in my heart they think I'm 
      White and nerdy 

      Think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      Think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      Can't you see I'm white and nerdy 
      Look at me I'm white and nerdy 

      I'd like to roll with the gangstas 
      Although it's apparent I'm too 
      White and nerdy 

      Think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      Think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      I'm just too white and nerdy 
      How'd I get so white and nerdy 

      I been browsin', inspectin' X-Men comics 
      You know I collect 'em 
      The pens in my pocket, I must protect them 
      My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored 
      Shoppin' online for deals on some writable media 
      I edit Wikipedia 
      I memorized Holy Grail really well 
      I can recite it right now and have you R-O-T-F-L-O-L 

      I got a business doing websites (websites) 
      When my friends need some code, who do they call? 
      I do HTML for 'em all 
      Even made a homepage for my dog, yo 
      I got myself a fanny pack 
      They were havin' a sale down at The Gap 
      Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap 
      Pop, pop - hope no one sees me, gettin' freaky 

      I'm nerdy in the extreme
      I'm whiter than sour cream 
      I was in AV club and glee club 
      And even the chess team 
      Only question I ever thought was hard 
      Was "Do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?" 
      Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Faire 
      Got my name on my underwear 

      They see me strollin', they laughin' 
      And rollin' their eyes cause I'm so 
      White and nerdy 

      Just because I'm white and nerdy 
      Just because I'm white and nerdy 
      All because I'm white and nerdy 
      Holy cow, I'm white and nerdy 

      I wanna bowl with the gangstas 
      But oh well, it's obvious I'm 
      White and nerdy 

      Think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      Think I'm just too white and nerdy 
      I'm just too white and nerdy 
      Look at me I'm white and nerdy
