In a particularly painful period of my high-schoolness, I sat staring into an empty browser window, and typed "why" into Google. The essay "Why Nerds are Unpopular" happened to be the second result. That's a pretty awesome use of a search engine, if you ask me.
This was one of the most memorable moments that year.
