there are so many religious arguments that happen in computer science circles that sound nerdy (emacs vs vi, perl vs php vs shell vs python vs etc), but then there are sci-fi religious arguments that really take the cake.
i remember in college reading usenet laughing about people arguing about star wars vs star trek. and, of course, who would win between the enterprise and a star destroyer. a quick yahoo! search on “enterprise vs star destroyer” provides many results, but i was brought back to this discussion by a post in gizmodo. i have to admit, i spent about 15 minutes reading the comments about people arguing. while i do believe the enterprise would win, i particularly enjoyed this comment:
Its a trick question. The answer is Gandalf. Gandalf would win.
the fact that i read this and then spent time blogging about it really cements my nerdiness.
