I lead an evil clan that basically just sat around and made poop jokes and killed a lot of people. I was 14-15 at the time.

Re: Nerdiest things you have ever done
Back in 7th grade I was in PSR and we were supposed to do a certain amount of community service.
I chose to dress up as the Easter bunny and hand out candy to kids in some new neighborhood with my PSR teacher. At one point during the day, some older punks came out to their front yard and yelled "Hey Easter Bunny!" and began giving me and my PSR teacher the ol' pelvic-thrusts. It was pretty embarassing. That was a poor decision. I hate to have regrets..but damn. I'd like to have taken a mulligan on that one.

Re: Nerdiest things you have ever done
In my first semester of college, I was taking Calculus III for honors students (this means it was the normal Calculus III material, but with more emphasis on proofs instead of computations) at 8 AM. The morning of the first midterm, I was taking my sister to school and got in a car accident. I didn't get to class until 8:45 AM. I apologized to the professor for arriving late, told him what happened and asked if I could still take the exam. He said yes, but that I had until 9:00 AM like everyone else. A few minutes before 9:00 AM I turned in my exam (and most of the class was still working) having solved every problem as well as the "challenge problem." Early that afternoon I got an email from the professor asking me to go see him. I went and saw him and he handed me an already filled out form with my name, student number, etc. to declare mathematics as my major. He told me it would be a huge error for me to not sign it and turn it in to the registrar's office. I did just that and in my second year I was taking graduate level courses.
