This is the truest and most heart-warming song on the interwebs. We know that if you aren't a geek or a nerd you secretly envy us.

Phillip Garrido was a man of God with a joyful story to tell.
"If you take this a step at a time, you're going to fall over backward and in the end you're going to find the most powerful, heart-warming story," he said.
"I tell you here's the story of what took place at this house and you're going…
THIS. IS. MINNESOTA. We like our Christmases white around here, and it's not enough just to have a few decorative snowflakes tumble down — we need a blizzard, and that's what we're going to get. I was out there in the frigid whiteness earlier today, clearing the driveway and sidewalks, and now I'm…
I realize that other people have the cat blogging beat nailed down, but this story is just too heart-warming to pass up.
Now, back to grading finals...
The good folks at Neuroanthropology drew my attention to a pair of videos showing how chimpanzees work together to corral, kill, and then eat colubus monkeys. Amazing stuff.
The embedded video below shows a hunt from the rather chaotic point of view of cameramen chasing the chase at jungle-floor…
Love it!
And I who was convinced that geeks of this magnitude only reproduced asexually (parthenogenesis?), due to the obvious difficulties of finding a like-minded partner...
Frighteningly enough, my husband and I got all the geeky references in that. I didn't notice a Dr. Who reference, though! I'm shocked.
As I've told my daughter many times ---
They might call you geek now, but later they will have to call you boss.
Ah, Lemon Demon. This is one of my favorite songs, but check out Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwBK31tC5QM and see Chuck Norris get his comeuppance. I also like Word Disassociation, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWKyAON4md8 .
Neil Cicierega, who essentially IS Lemon Demon, is also the young man who brought us Potter Puppet Pals.
Watch the video near the end -- there are a couple of cartoon Daleks that pop up.
Sweet - I've had that bookmarked for at least a year. My 6-year-old daughter must ask me once a week to watch it. I thought I was a big geek myself, but even I didn't get all the references.
True nerds will use the pause at the top to go through it frame by frame though - there are a few things that only pop for one frame. ;)
It does indeed warrant frame-by-frame (or slow motion) viewing, but the interface makes doing so awkward.
I'll have to watch it with the pause button. It was far too fast, with things like the UFO captioned "I WANT TO DECEIVE" popping up for less than a second. I won't get any Dr. Who references, though; I'm not an American nerd.
Off-topic: scroll down to the 2nd comic of this page for a good parody of creationism in schools.
There are some daleks on the tennis court. Oh, and I won't get any Dr. Who references, though; I'm not an American nerd. -- it's a BBC show, the first B is British...
Oh. I did know it was on the BBC too, but I didn't know that's where it comes from. Anyway, I've never seen a single episode...
David Marjanovic - Dr Who is a British program (i.e. not America), although the good Dr is from the planet Gallifrey.
#9 David,
Obviously, you're not a british nerd either. For a real American reference, watch for Joel and the bots from mst3k.
Very catchy.
Cute, but it pales in comparison to the best (math) geek love song I've ever heard:

Thanks, PZ! (Smacks forehead with hand) How did I miss *Daleks*, fer cryin' out loud!
