+ “Jedi Knight” deemed an acceptable religious affiliation. Ewoks still shunned.
+ Festivus would be a federal holiday. In addition to social security cards and small hats, babies are issued stripper poles at birth.
+ Stats for an ideal woman change from 36-24-36 to 780 verbal/780 math.
+ Al Gore would have been our 43rd president because we never would have voted for the cheerleading frat boy.
+ Golf clubs, footballs, bats and other sports accoutrements are replaced with a universal Wii-mote. Also, deleting opponents becomes completely legal.
+ Scrabulous would NEVER be blocked by work security filters.
+ "Wall Street Journal" sketches are all drawn by H.R. Giger. Ben Bernancke becomes
+ Comic books would be acceptable as a standard form of currency. "Archie" comics, however, soon become like the penny and are used only to buy gumballs and accessorize loafers.
+ No one ever laughs if you come to work hung over from last night’s Book Group.
+ British and/or Austrailian accents become standard issue on all humans. Harry Knowles suddenly becomes hot.
+ Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman are grafted together to create one incredibly awesome mediocre human being.
+ “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader” becomes “Are You Smarter Than a Tenth Grader Taking AP Classes?”
+ Cars come with a “Damage on/off” toggle. Driving becomes a lot more fun.

+ Resumes will include high scores. Those who completed “BioShock” will be given upper management positions.
+ People NOT wearing glasses are mocked mercilessly and made to cry.
+ “American Idol” will be replaced with “American Astrophysicist.” Simon Cowell is still a bastard and totally plays favorites.
+ "Make It So" replaces "Git 'Er Done," a phrase never uttered again except in alcohol-fueled lexiconic accidents. Even then, dude, just don't do it.

Woo hoo! Let's start a revolution!
Oh, to live in this world...
And all the popcorn makers would look like this:

And makeup would be paint by numbers or outlawed completely. High heels too, no high heels in Nerdtopia; they are completely illogical.
Love the point about glasses!
+football and basketball stadiums would only get rebuilt when necessary for safety reasons (and only then because of the structural damage caused by the last Johnathan Coulton, Voltaire, or They Might be Giants concert)
+The Oscars would never again allow a movie like Titanic to win 7 Academy Awards. Also, the sexy librarian look would be *hot* on the red carpet.
+the Nerd Men of the Month would find themselves the target of an unbending media blitz/fangirling in which they are forced to buy their own islands to escape.
I guess my work break is over, so I'll have to spend the rest of the afternoon thinking of more possibilities. Good post!
pure genius....well done ladies!!!!
Also, people wouldn't look completely flabbergasted at the phrase "recreational mathematics".
Ok, "recreational mathematics" is one of the greatest phrases I've ever heard. I've got to find a way to use that in conversation immediately. :)
I love recreational mathematics! Math is fun!!!
Stats for an ideal woman change from 36-24-36 to 780 verbal/780 math.
