A little ditty for all of you, to glorify the common nerd at MIT:

[Sing to the tune of Offspring's "Pretty Fly for a White Guy"]

You know its kind of hard
just to be a geek today
our subject's an EE
and he likes it anyway
he may not program CLU
and he has no indent style
and everything he hacks
well he stores in one big file

[refrain]

  he don't defun, inhales solder straight
  and he keeps his MOSFETS in the mode of saturate
  conjugates the poles, and keeps it real
  "for-loops" no way, "for-loops" no way
  so if it oscillates, just overcompensate
  at least you know you can always integrate

  the world needs more EEs!
  the world needs geek EEs!
  so hey hey do that nerd kit thing!

He needs some logic gates
not just any will suffice
but they didn't have NAND gates
so he got a NOR IC
now wiring up his nerd kit, he sees women as they pass
but he doesn't look twice
because he'd rather play starcraft

[refrain] 

and all the girlies say he's pretty fly for a six guy...

who is this fly six guy? and what does he look like? and what is his
favorite beverage? Come tonight as we charge the local girl scouts
with their New Quest at ...
