"Bill Gates once famously said, "Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one." Nowadays, chances are even greater that when you go home, it'll be a nerd who's entertaining you. Nerds have pervaded every aspect of pop culture, from their humble beginnings as incredibly smart, socially awkward people who have intense knowledge, poor people skills and wear thick glasses all to incredibly smart, socially awkward people who have intense knowledge, poor people skills and who occasionally wear contacts. (For the record, geeks can be much the same, but don't have that redeeming intelligence -- e.g. Napoleon Dynamite). Topless Robot is proud to celebrtae of the greatest and most famous nerds in pop culture."
