I hate crap like this.
Just because you're smart, or good with computers, doesn't automatically mean:
1. You are ugly
2. You can't dress yourself
3. You have no social skills
4. You live in your parents' basement
5. You have no friends, or your other friends are losers too
6. You can't fight
7. You're bad at sports
8. You were unpopular in high school
9. You're a Mac toting hipster waif who thinks being a sardonic douchebag is some sort of replacement for cool
This is a cop out. People that are smart but complete failures in nearly every social aspect rarely rise to the top in this world. They hit a very thick glass ceiling in the corporate world because nobody wants to work with them. Having no ability to relate with others eventually proves disasterous in nearly every possible career path.
Being technologically inclined is not some burden that excludes you from being socially amicable, and the only people that are hoisting that flag are people trying to make excuses for their failed lives. - Cheesepuffly, on 03/03/2009, -3/+20WHERE THE HECK IS BILL GATES?!
- inactive, on 03/03/2009, -2/+15Finally. My pocket protector comes in handy
- Linguo, on 03/03/2009, -7/+17Ben Stein is a *****. The only list he should be on is "top 20 ***** to ever host a gameshow"
- Trekhawk, on 03/03/2009, -1/+11Cameron Frye as the techie BFF? Ferris had the slick computer and voice synthesizer!
- ZeDJS, on 03/04/2009, -1/+9Is it just me or did an 8th grade girl write this article?
- Jabrams2, on 03/03/2009, -1/+8I hate to admit it, but I think I used to like Win Ben Stein's Money. Maybe it was because they would take his money?? I can't really recall
- BugsSport, on 03/04/2009, -0/+6But...but...it's AVOGADROS NUMBER!!! Don't you understand??? AVOGADRO'S NUMBER!!!!
- Louis11, on 03/04/2009, -0/+6Not to mention he hacked into the school network to change his absences.
- Bukowsky, on 03/03/2009, -1/+7I never thought about Michaelangelo being a nerd... but i guess it makes sense.
- inactive, on 03/04/2009, -0/+5It wasn't even really taken from him, though. It was taken out of the salary he got from hosting the show. A better title would've been "Win money that isn't Ben Steins now but will be if you don't take it"

The best way to get anyone to read a post or a submission on Digg is to have it in list format because all the rabid posters such as yourself are mildly autistic. - bfrank72, on 03/04/2009, -0/+4Needs more Rivers Cuomo
- StigNordas, on 03/03/2009, -1/+5Henry Winkler is geekier than Ron Howard .
- AussieSheila, on 03/04/2009, -1/+5That's a funny list, but it doesn't feel right when models are on the same list as Einstein.
- JasonAdams13, on 03/04/2009, -0/+4But nobody is less geeky than the Fonz.
- frankdozier, on 08/10/2009, -0/+3I'm a NERD!!!! Woohoo!!!
- lowtolerance, on 03/04/2009, -0/+3what the ***** is up with the twitter dude's nose ring?
- singingfishy, on 03/04/2009, -1/+4If somebody told me that there would be a time when Albert Einstein and Ben Stein would be on the same list... I don't think I would have believed them.
- Tanze, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2this whole "its cool to be a nerd thing" is really starting to piss off some of my older friends (24-26 year olds), they think back to their high school days and get pissed. overall i like it, but i despise seeing the faux nerdy kids who think they know ***** (i.e. bros who LOVE spiderman because they saw the ***** movie)
- GregFD3S, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2Chicks digg the Light Saber.
- sandersdamnit, on 03/04/2009, -1/+3Anyone who believes that Evolution or Darwinism = Nazism is a ***** imbecile. Anyone who believes that science is a secular conspiracy is an imbecile. Period. Doesn't matter who he worked for or where he went to school. W went to Yale also.
- sandersdamnit, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2Don't know why you are getting dugg down Philbert. Judaism is not and will never be a race. It is a religion. So if a black guy converts to Judaism, does that mean he is not black anymore, or is he multi-racial now?
- Gorgonzola44, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2On an unrelated note, can we please retire the royal we, seeing as how everyone overdoes it?
- coolwalking, on 03/04/2009, -0/+2hahaaa racists. It's kinda cute that you little guys still exist.
- Louis11, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1Stroustrup said the other day he was planning on getting a Mac . . .
- mark076h, on 03/04/2009, -2/+3No Kevin Rose? this article sucks!
- GregFD3S, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1Indeed.
- BRENTON8907, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1Dugg for band of outsiders; my personal favorite of all my shirts
- inactive, on 03/03/2009, -1/+2It's cool to be a geek
- BugsSport, on 03/04/2009, -0/+16.02e23
- boudey, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1What about it?
- trollick, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1Is there any evidence, any evidence at all, that any of them ever have been outcasts???
- GregFD3S, on 03/04/2009, -1/+210. You make lists in reply to a digg submission.
- Philbert, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1I don't understand why they get pissed. I think back to high school and get pissed too (I'm 32 as of Sunday), but then most people in my high school hated it, roughly half my class, including myself, dropped out. (of course I then went to college and got a degree).
- GregFD3S, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1In real life, maybe. But if you look in the dictionary or thesaurus, the word "Fonz" is an antonym for "Geek".
- tidu, on 03/05/2009, -0/+1How much do you think I can get for making out? Fifty bucks?
- crescentfreshld, on 03/04/2009, -1/+2buried for lameness
- Johnnyjm, on 03/05/2009, -0/+1oh, please...
- sandiegodude, on 03/05/2009, -0/+1From the article:
Tom Anderson, Co-founder MySpace—He was our first internet love (OK, obsession), our first friend on MySpace and the man who acted as guide to the world of Web 2.0. Sigh. His smiling face (and plain white T-shirt) was always there when we signed in. We'll always have a special place in our heart for him. (pictured above, top left)
Jakob Lodwick, Founder Vimeo—He's the bad boy of the neo-nerds. He's like The Cobra Snake of the Silicon Valley crowd, a hipster who makes money off the web and uses it as a forum to spread his oh-so-coolness to the masses. Swoon. (pictured above, top middle)
Nate Silver, Statistician—He's so sexy that we don't even really understand what his job entails. We're just imagining romantic nights with him as we watch The City whilst he calculates the probability that our spawn will have his eyes and our hair. (pictured above, top right, photo via Blog Indecision)
.... um, first love, swooning and romantic nights? This article is written by a dude. It's a bit too homoerotic for my taste. - bcassner, on 03/05/2009, -0/+1What about Nolan Bushnell of Atari and Pong?
- DavidOchs, on 03/04/2009, -0/+1I agree that Stein's views on Darwinism leading to Nazism are a bit extreme. However, there is no question that, in certain individuals, Darwinism did indeed lead to the embracement of Nazi ideals such as eugenics. This fact is not denied by historians on either side of the issue.
Regardless, an "imbecile" is someone with moderate to severe mental retardation. Obviously someone with Stein's resume does not deserve such a title. - DouglasQ, on 03/05/2009, -0/+1Uncool is the new cool.
...Damn, I'm getting pushed out of the spotlight. - inactive, on 03/05/2009, -0/+0aahh, I don't know what the ***** you people talking about, I'm a jew and I'm proud and those people are jews and I take pride in their accomplishments. Also, jew is a race not a religion.
- Philbert, on 03/04/2009, -2/+2Judaism is not a race.
- indiepenguins, on 03/04/2009, -1/+1No Jobs, no digg.
- DavidOchs, on 03/04/2009, -3/+2Just because you may not agree with his political or religious views does not mean he is an imbecile. He was a speechwriter and lawyer for two presidents, valedictorian at Yale Law school, and a professor of law at Pepperdine. Further, he is a highly successful writer, actor, and commentator. Obviously he’s not an imbecile.
- inactive, on 03/04/2009, -5/+4these articles had a homosexual feel to them
- inactive, on 03/04/2009, -4/+3Buried for Ben Stein. He's a total imbecile, completely out of place on this list.
