NERD HOLIDAYS!
Happy
Nicola Tesla's Birthday!
Go play with electricity! But be careful, it bites.
In addition, we got a NERD HOLIDAY TWOFER...
FRIDAY will be
Mr. Wizard's Birthday!
Honor SCIENCE! Or blow some shit up!
I've lost my JUNE NERD HOLIDAY, since it was Systems Administrator Appreciation Day, but either I was confused or they moved it, cuz it's celebrated on the last Friday in July.
And I don't got one for August neither. *sad face*
