I guess this 9th Day of Christmas video is for all the nerds out there...(sidenote: did you know that Dr. Seuess was the first person to ever use the word 'nerd?' Yup, he used it in a 1951 book called "If I Ran The Zoo" as a type of made-up animal... it then became synonymous with "drip" and "square." Also, in the 1980 space opera commonly referred to as "The Empire Striked Back," Leia was supposed to call Han a 'Nerd herder' as an homage to Geisel - who George Lucas credits as creating an accepted atmosphere of make-believe that allowed him and people like him (read: nerds) to develop into the sci-fi geeks we all know and love - but she flubbed the line, called him a 'Nerf herder' instead, and because the production was so far behind schedule at that point (this was one of the last scenes to be shot) GL decided to not re-do the scene with the intended dialogue, and the rest is movie history...)
Enjoy, for in the not-too-distant future we'll be slaves to these dudes' progeny, and be forced to do manual labor and provide them with energy as we lay in vast fields of human batteries...
