Help Me Admiral Ackbar, You're Our Only Hope

In further proof that nerds are attempting to stake a claim on everything in the world today, they have made a move to sports. In the past, mixing sports and nerds was like oil and water. However, now they have united to support a common goal: Elect Admiral Ackbar, leader of the Star Wars Rebel Alliance forces, as the new Ole Miss Rebels mascot.

May the Force be with the school's sports teams

No word yet on if the campaign will attract the ever important ewok vote.

Is it the Nerdiest Proposal or is it the Greatest Proposal Ever?

Is this computer programmer a cheesy, sappy romantic nerd or is he a twisted genius?

It's ok honey, I'd rather you play your computer games than talk to me.

This guy managed to reprogram her favorite game (and notorious office day time waster), Bejeweled, to suddenly contain a proposal when she reached a certain score threshold. Needless to say, this won her over, and even won them a free honeymoon from the game company. Really? That really is a match made in nerd heaven. I wonder what he set the score to be? Imagine if she just kept having a bad day at the game, and he was just sitting there sweating it out nonstop. The best reaction came from the game company. They said that normally no one appreciates it when people tamper with their games, but in this case, he has to applaud the nerd winning over an actual girl. Way to tell it like it is, video game executive...way to tell it like it is.
