| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

I am a nerd because: 1. I am on this site. Duh! 2. Most of the lyrics to "White and Nerdy" describe me. 3. I danced to "White and Nerdy" in front of my whole school and won the dance-off. 4. I've memorized "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" 5. I am obsessed with "Fringe" and spend most of my time coming up with theories for it. 6. I also went to the midnight premiere of the newest "Harry Potter" |

I am nerd because: 1.- My grades are among the highest in the whole class. 2.- I'm not precisely skinny (I'm kinda muscular. Just a bit), but I am pale white as Disney's Snowhite. 3.- I love Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Role-Playing games, Science, Comic Books and Manga. 4.- I went disguised as Darth Vader (Not just the helmet. The whole suit, made by me) to the midnight premiere of Star Wars III |

Im sort of a nerd, because im on this site. I like SF and Fantasy. but im no where near the smartest or best in anything (although im pretty good at drama,history and english), im friends with several nerds , but they're not my 'inner circle' (except one), im on a swimming squad which i enjoy. im not really knowledgable about computers beyond average, i like hanging out with friends a lot and im only antisocial towards pricks. |

I'm listening to a Lovecraftian cover of a Christmas song, talking on a forum about the future evolution of life and answering questions about my alternate history project at 8.30 in the morning and editing my post after I see it has a slight grammatical error. Take a wild guess.

Well i hang around with all the people who just like pissing around.... I love science classes as well as history and english. Although in most lessons i piss about especially maths where me and my best mate sit in class crying with laughter. I am quite sporty and im a fast runner. I am a pseudo nerd where i enjoy gaming alot especially Mass effect. I am a know it all on most subjects which come up hence the nickname Walking Wiki or just wiki. Although i dont know the subjects in much detail its enough to be able to give a 10 minute talk on them. People dont really know im a member of this site mainly because i would never tell anyone. I am respected at my school because of my use as a brain box. Also i dont get bullied because i will always confront any one who acts aggressive. Also if someone tries to take the piss i will immediately turn it around, thus nobody ever tries to argue with me. By being a know it all the girls actually find it quite interesting and they lower their expectations for me so when they see me in person they are normally quite impressed hence why i have had quite a few girlfriends. So do you guys think im a nerd just wondering? |

In physics and astronomical stuff I think people would say that I'm nerd mainly because I don't have physics since school =P I'm a marine biologist so knowing about universe and all the physics are unusual for biologists so I become a nerd for my colleges, and some of the members on habitablezone probably hate me by destroying their planet projects because they're not scientifically correct =P My girlfriend says that I'm Titanic nerg because I know a lot of things about the ship (actually I know a lot of things of all lost liners) but I don't think that I'm a nerd for it... My non biologist friends say that I'm biology Nerg, due I know a lot of scientific names, and is difficult to find an animal that I don't know. And if someone enters in cetacean maters... ultraNerd! I know all known cetacean species of this planet and their habitat, sizes etc. and I can identify them very quickly and just with a small part of it, like dorsal fins, also I'm quite good on identifying by their name individual captive dolphins or orcas of the most dolphinariuns of Europe and USA. Well I think that should be like that, I want to specialize on Cetology! My look isn't nerg like at all, glass always on the top of the heat, long and tousled hair, bear, mud or salt on the clothes...
