Are there any Nerdfighters here on Fluther?

Um…no. Not me anyway. I watched some of the videos but then got kinda bored. sorry.

What is this? Another meme? How have I missed this? Explain!

@deaddolly – Awww well it’s not for everyone, I guess.

@andrew – Yeah, I’m surprised no one here has made mention of it before. Nerdfighters are just like regular human beings except that instead of tissues and organs and stuff, they’re made of awesome.

Really, Nerdfighters are fans of Brotherhood 2.0, a project in which two brothers (Hank and John Green) ceased textual communication for a year (2007) and corresponded only through video blogs, posted on Youtube.

Here’s a collection of their “must-see” vids.

There is also a Ning community.

I didn’t create this thread solely to plug these guys. Is there seriously no one on here who’s heard of them?

Oh, goody. “Awesome” is now a noun. (Remind self:to add to Gail’slist .)

It is, indeed. Isn’t that awesome?

I think you’d like these guys, Gail. John Green is an award-winning author of young adult fiction. The video that I’d linked to above supports the use of Shakespearean insults. These guys are quite witty.

absolutely there are!

dftba!
