Is that a protractor in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?

Here’s a curio from David from Sheffield:

One of my friends and I were having discussion a while back in a particularly boring maths lesson where we attempted to come up with the nerdiest pick-up lines we could. The best ones we got were “I’ll balance your equation…” and “Wait till you see my hypotenuse…” What are the best ones you can come up with?

As none of us are allowed to chat people up, lest we ruin our long-term relationships, we’re going to throw this out to YOU. If you have an irresistible geeky chat-up line that you don’t mind sharing, “Nice pair…of compasses” or the like, then please avail us all of it in a comment below!

Another one: What’s the square root of your pi?

And: How many decimal places has your pi got?

Yes, I do have a pi fetish…… =P

For the modern ‘online geek’:

‘OMG D0 U SP34K 1337? CUZ UR B00B5 JUST PWN3D MY BR4IN!’

crude (and accurate, to some extent) in every way…

Straight to the point; “Meiosis?” or, my personal favourite “Would there be any resistance if I asked to take you ohm?”.

“Let me be Laelius to your Scipio Aemilianus”

Nice Classical one there!

(Used by Cicero himself – now that’s got to be a bonus)

I FOUND AN ENTROPY ONE!!! Martin, I’m sure you’ll appreciate this one, even though it’s not the best – Hey there girl, it appears to me that you are one of the major sources that increases the entropy of the universe. You see, you are hot and the heat you are releasing is making our universe more disordered.

And one or 2 more that made me squiggle

*My love for you is as strong as a covalent lattice .

*You must be a good benzene ring, because you are pleasantly aromatic.

*My name? Bond. Covalent Bond!

I had sooooo much fun finding these – didn’t manage to find an entropy themed on, which upset me greatly, but here are a few of the best I found :

*I Wish I Were Your Derivative So I Could Lie Tangent To Your Curves!

*If I were an enzyme I would be DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes

*I have a floppy disk in my pocket, come back to my place and I will show you my hard disk

*Would kissing you increase global warming and damage the Arctic irreversibly, or is it just enough to break the ice?

*You are definitely the woman of my REM phase.

*By looking at you I can tell you’re 36-25-36, which, by the way are all
perfect squares.

*It doesn’t take a genius to see how gorgeous you are, but if it did, I would be overqualified.

*I wish I were adenine because then I could get paired with U

*What’s your sine? It must be pi/2 because you’re the 1

*If I move my lips half the distance to yours… and then half again… and again… etc…. would they ever meet? No? Well in this specific case I am going to disprove your assumption.

*Your name is Leslie? Look, I can spell your name on my calculator!

* If I was an endoplasmic reticulum, how would you want me: smooth or rough?

*Let’s get together and test the spring potential of my mattress

* Let’s discover our coefficient of friction

Tee hee 😀
Love it

Do you like imaginary numbers?
Because ‘i’ really want to make love to you.

Well, you’ve gotta stick this in there: (that sounds wrong by itself =P)

Now that’s quite a Pythagoras you’ve got there!

What’s the square root of MY pi???
