Lol. Why is it that most nerds do look kind of funny?? You get the occasional hot one but what your wife says is true. Not only in Germany!

Using the word “phenomenon” in every day conversation is a sure sign that deine Frau has exceeded the recommended higher-education dosage. But I guess it’s kind of reassuring to know that there some Great Universal Truths — like the fact that academics in Germany tend but just as dorky as the local variety. (With all due respect to my academic friends, of course.) Thanks for the laugh.
