I'm gonna have to argue this because Its an excepted fact that zombies still opperate with a brain, and Mummified corpses had their brains removed before being emballed

At first I didn't think I had anything I could contribute to this, but reading through the whole thread (which alone makes me nerdier than a lot of "read the OP and reply without checking" guys on here) has inspired me to remember nerdy facts and also wish to correct some of the people on here who flat out got their facts WRONG.

However, after 8 pages, I've forgotten what most of those were. Bugger.

So:

It has been said that it is NOT "Luke, I am your father" and is actually "No, I am your father."

However, a lot of people get it wrong and will say "No, I am your father," when in fact the emphasis is not on the "am" (which would make sense, the preceding line is "He told me you killed him"), the emphasis is actually (and it GRATES me how many people forget this) on the "I", as in "No, I am your father."

Oh yeah, and some guy said he could name all eighteen Primarchs, but then didn't, so:
Roboute Guilliman
Rogal Dorn
Ferrus Manus
Corax
Leman Russ
Lion El'Johnson
Sanguinius
Vulkan
Jaghatai Khan
Horus
Alpharius
Angron
Fulgrim
Mortarion
Magnus the Red
The Night Haunter
Lorgar
Perturabo

Obviously I can also name their Legions.

Oh, and the Sherlock Holmes confusion comes from the fact Holmes often said "Elementary" and often said "my dear Watson", he just never said them TOGETHER.

Well that's kind of a trap because if you know the answer is 42 that makes you a nerd....damn it i'm a nerd lol

OP: Han Solo says "it's the ship that made the kessle run in less than 12 parsects" Parsects are a measure of distance, however, this DOES make sence.
The Kessle Run is a series of black holes, because the closer you get to a black hole, the more the gravitational pull, so the faster your ship, the closer you can get to the black holes.
Therfore making it in 12 parsects means the ship is so fast, he can travel within twelve parsects of a black hole, and not get sucked in.

...you're welcome...
Jeeze. Now this makes sense.
is that sarcasim or are you being serious?
dude i felt so nerdy understanding that i think you jus forcibly made me a virgin again.

Its not "luke, I am your father."

There are two types of people in this world. People who think there are two types of people and the normal folk.

well mummies aside, Frankenstein's monster and Herbert West's legion of 'failed experiments' still operated with brains intact ... mostly ... West kept complaining that many of his failed experiments suffered some degradation in the brain-cell department

The first "Your Mother," joke was by a Mongolian Warlord named Timur the Lame.

While pillaging and making various forms of war (As he was prone to do), the Sultan of a walled city refused to open his gates and do battle. Timur scaled a large hill near the palace proper and loudly proclaimed that the sultan's mother was of dubious moral fiber. The sultan became enraged and marched his army to meet the mongolian horde. The mongolians ambushed and SLAUGHTERED the small army.

if you look in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy go to page 42 and count 42 lines from the top of that page you will end up to a line with only the words "the earth" witch is the computer created to calculate the question to the answer 42.


i are super nerd

There were 20 primarchs. The 11th and 2nd legions are expunged.

EDIT: Oh. and the night haunters real name is Konrad Curze
