Slashdot has some of the best stories for nerds around the net, with the latest on a social skills class for nerds:

“According to Reuters, Potsdam University in Germany is now teaching social skills as part of their IT courses. This is intended to ‘ease entry into the world of work’. The 440 students enrolled in the master’s degree course will learn how to write flirtatious text messages and emails, impress people at parties and cope with rejection(s).”

A modern nerd has no need for a social skills class while the pre-Bill Gates nerds would not care about taking such a class, unless it was to persue the opposite sex. A modern nerd understands how to have social skills as it would be a dork who would not have those skills, however, he may still take the class out of pure hilarity.
