1.  Stone Age 100,000BC: Thak and Grog, two primitive humans, create first airplane made of animal hides and twigs. Unfortunately, their less intelligent and avid huntsman of a brother Klod, mistook their creation for a bird and set it aflame with their previous days' invention of fire. We salute them as the first nerds.

2.  Bronze Age 4000BC: Major civilization begins. Several nerds strike off with people popular counter parts and start cities. Several of these are Babylon, Thebes and Rome.

3.  85AD: Rome commands almost half of the known world. This can be accredited to future Civilization II enthusiasts who built a time machine, went back, and became Roman generals.

4.  Middle Ages; Children's Crusade: Many young nerds warn against the Children's Crusade but the self proclamed "bold and daring" children felt qualified to fight and of course were lost.

5. Leonardo's Workshop; Rennaissance Period: Leonardo has become the first widely celebrated nerd in history. HAZAA!!

6. England 1600's: Nerdy philosophers of every ilk gather to discuss the finer points of democracy and are arrested. Some are even exiled by the king. It Figures.

7.Black Tuesday; 1929: Stock market crashes after many people ignored the nerd's warnings that it would happen.

8.1990's; Rodney King beating: Although this was an important event that showed racism in our society, people always seem to forget the Dexter Auschultz beating of the same day in which Dexter had been returning from a Star Trek convention dressed as a Klingon and was mauled by drunken frat boys.
