Nope, That has always been a really bad sterotype. As someone that has worked in IT for over 20 years I would say nerds are no less likely to be good at sports than anyone else. My basketball team is currently the top ranked division 2 team and it consistents entirely or programmers and sys admins, while not quite as successful my indoor cricket and volleyball teams are the same.

That depends though, superchunk could be so good athl;etically that if he wanted he could compete at high amature or professional levels of said sports. I am good at nearly all sports I play but unlike him, I was nearly always picked last because of what people thought I might be like (being short), played for 6 different teams at school and was best at Badminton in entire school.

Am I the only nerd in the world.... Sorry can't come up with anything I already know that even on this very site there are people who do everything I do. Fact is intellectual beings do everything they aren't locked into a Jock role or a goth role etc...etc... anybody who enjoys intellectual growth and stimulation can be classified as a nerd. In which case nerds are not only capable of doing everything but do do almost everything!

I've never played anything Pokemon related, but this particular song sang by a girl in a Pokemon cd back in nineteen ninety something. I think it was "Stay".



...I've never played a Zelda game...
