The first Nurds to be created

Absurd Nurds are rarely found together in large gatherings, it takes some time to gather them all up. When they do form up, it’s epic. Some might say these are conventions Nurds would say Legendary conventions. 

Hopefully you’ve prepared yourself to meet the Absurd Nurds. If not then limber up, put on some ambient tunes and get ready for some reading.

Absurd Nurd - Burt

Burt

[ buuur-t ]

#1

If you didn’t already know the term  ‘Sheek Geek’ was based on Burt, you do now. He’s always smartly dressed and ready to pounce on your factual inaccuracies. 

What he lacks in general knowledge he more than makes up for in quantum physics, computer science, machine learning and rocket science.

When you need a genius find yourself a Burt
Absurd Nurd - Creg

Creg

[ kruh-ay-guh ]

#2

If the path of a normal brain was a straight line, the path of a Creg brain would be a wiggly one pointing off out into the 4th dimension. It’s be prophesied that even when he dies his brain will still be coming up with new ideas. 

The vocabulary rolling off of the tongue with this Nurd is “What if”, you’ll know you’ve run into one because they will probably suggest a different way of doing things.

If you're stuck, find yourself a Creg
Absurd Nurd - Andrew

Andrew

[ an-druh-ew ]

#3

Stay in the presence of an Andrew too long and you’ll find yourself immortalised in a book fighting in the battle to end all battles, slaying dragons and performing all manners of inconceivable feats.

If you meet an Andrew, they will be quiet but their brain is hard at work. They will be testing your moral fibre at every chance.

If you want to feel immortal, get an Andrew to write about you
Absurd Nurd - Matt

Matt

[ mah-t ]

#4

As a toddler a Matt Nurd is rumoured to grow pencils for fingers and develop a thin layer of imaginary film over their eyes. They couldn’t stop drawing even if they wanted to.

When you stumble across a Matt Nurd you’ll be pleasantly pleased by the creation they have lain down before you.

If you wondered what you'd look like in any other form seek out a Matt to make it happen
Absurd Nurd - Tim

Tim

[ ti-mm ]

#5

Someone once tried to hurl abuse at a Tim Nurd but he used his infamous shrug to evaporate it into the wind. A highly effective tool that’s diverse enough to be turn into a hug too.

Mean things bounce off of a Tim. To find one look for the wisps of defeat generated by his shrug.

 

If you need a shrug, or a hug, Tim will have you covered
Absurd Nurd Rose

Rose

[ row-sss ]

#6

It’s rumoured that she’s missing the gene for negativity and is never too far from her trusted confidant, Wald. Either way she’s stuck seeing only positives.

You’ll know you’ve met this Nurd when you see them floating on the peripheries hopping from one joyous moment to the next, much like a butterfly. 

When you need positivity, look for a Rose
Absurd Nurd - Lobsey

Lobsey

[ low-bs-ee ]

#7

Although he speaks, it’s not just words that come out. Alongside some ancient wisdom is the warmth of a thousand ages.

You’ll typically find this Nurd regaling stories around a metaphorical campfire. Should you find one, stop by for a while, soak up the wisdom and get ready to learn.

When life gives you lemons, look for a Lobesy
Absurd Nurds - Jono

Jono

[ joh-no ]

#8
Jono learnt how to work hard from an early age. He earn’t the best in class award in primary school for completing everyone’s homework in one evening. He can’t help it, he just likes to get things done.

A Jono in the wild will be be like glue in a group. He’ll be gelling everything together with good old hard graft.

When nothing is getting done be more like a Jono
Absurd Nurd - Maurice

Maurice

[ mor-ee-ss ]

#9
Maurice’s first words weren’t ‘mama’ they were in fact ‘01101101 01100001 01101101 01100001’. It was at this point he knew he would be shaping the future of technology with his binary poetry.

You might expect to see Maurice in an IT help desk but really he’s the one inside the machine making it work for you, he is the cloud.

When you feel lost learn something as in depth as a Maurice
Absurd Nurd - Jesmond

Jesmond

[ juh-es-mund ]

#10
On a couple of occasions people thought they may have caught Jesmond out by asking the most ludicrous of maths questions. Jesmond however is always prepared. If he doesn’t know it off by heart then he always has the tools he needs to hand, like and abacas or calculator.

Jesmond’s don’t frequent the night like most socialites, he might be tucked up with a hot coco instead of slut dropping on a pole at 3am.

When you need information quickly be as prepared as a Jesmond
