Obama Gets His Nerd On

This gives me hope.
He is a big fan of Star Trek. He said himself: "I grew up on Star Trek. I believe in the final frontier." And, when Leonard Nimoy was the guest on NPR's "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" in September, he said that he had run into "one of the presidential candidates" and that that candidate had, upon seeing Nimoy, given him the Vulcan salute. He refused to name the candidate, but said he "was not John McCain."
If only JJ Abrams felt the same way. That new trailer makes me want to punch him in the neck.

Obama also collects Spiderman comics and yet he somehow managed not only to get laid but to win the biggest popularity contest out there.

Not to be too nerdy, but it's Spider-Man.

Stan Lee says it drives him crazy when people forget the hyphen.
