Sometimes living with nerds is awesome.
We had a large, nasty weed problem in a garden in our backyard. Large, nasty. I'm talking huge weeds as tall as me. I was a bit annoyed, because I was figuring that some day I'd have to go buy a machete to take care of them. Today, however, I walked outside to find my roommate tearing down large swaths of them... With a katana. And thus, my day was made.
